Energy Minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson, a speaker at a provincial ANC meeting, yesterday likened the Western Cape to Orania, a Northern Cape town where only White Afrikaners are allowed to live.
Joemat-Pettersson is also a member of the ANC's national executive committee.
She said the Western Cape had become painted as a place where "there is an influx of the rural poor from the Eastern Cape".
"Those who do not believe in black majority rule, who still want to perpetuate white minority (rule), have moved from Gauteng to the Western Cape (and), have moved from Northern Cape," she reportedly said.
"Those who still want to be racists have descended on your shores. You have new Jan van Riebeecks here.
"It is never mentioned that there is a coalition of white anti-left and anti-progressive forces here. The province is systematically not moving towards federalism, they are moving to an Orania, an independent state of the Western Cape."
