- Readers of Cape Town political satire
- Worth noticing
- Its mock statistics bureau says its figures came from the Founding Committee and are “in no way verified.”
Field notes
The manifesto is organized as six founding “truths,” with jokes about taxes, provincial infrastructure, local voting, and the absence of matcha in Wellington. Its “Evidence” section calls itself the CapeTeXit Bureau of Statistics, then says its figures came from the Founding Committee and are “in no way verified.” The future republic gets a flag and a territory survey using an “ego scale”; the page also links to a founding register, donations, merchandise, and X.
