Sensationalist headline is sensationalist.

"Ironically, black Africans constitute the group of which the highest number, namely 1.3 million would have to relocate. Coloured South Africans, with a total of 1.2 million persons who would need to relocate, constitute the second largest group, the trade union’s research unit said." (And that doesn't include the 70% of KZN Indians who would have to move.)

The editor concerned clearly decided on that headline as pure click bait.

Solidarity does some great work in protecting the rights of SAs minorities, but they also like a fine bit of scaremongering on occasion too.

This suggestion would be akin to the forced removals and separate development policies of the old Nats, and would never stand up in a Constitutional test, imo.

As for the "reliably sourced" suggestion of the merging of EC and WC... The ANC led ideal of making WC "ungovernable" before the last elections failed dismally, despite all the bussed in protestors, free KFC lunch packs and Zuma emblazoned t-shirts.

If they did merge the two it wouldn't surprise me to see the ANC losing support to the DA in both regions. But it is as likely to happen as the WC seceding from SA and becoming an independent nation. i.e. not likely at all.
