A party campaigning for independence for the Western Cape announced on Thursday it would refuse to recognise Jacob Zuma as president."Zuma is the illegitimate colonial occupier of the Cape," Cape Party deputy leader Adrian Kay said in a statement.
The party stood only in the Western Cape in last month's polls, where it received 2552 votes, 0.13 percent of the total number cast in the ballot for the provincial legislature.
Kay said however his party believed the vote "confirmed the independence of the Cape from South Africa".
"The voters made a clear statement, that this is not South Africa: this is the Cape."
Kay said it was only a matter of time before progressive people relocated to the Cape to build a prosperous future in a new country as "Azania" had failed.
