Join the new world

Many people are unaware of eRepublik's newest de facto nation...the Independent South African Republic.

As a response to the recent general election in South Africa, which was disputedly won by Hull, independence was declared on September 7th, 2008, by Black Lion Front leader Esteban Delgado.

The Proud African (PA) party came to power under with a huge majority, prompting allegations of election fraud and the use of multiple account, the latter of which was proven when the admins banned over 50 illegal accounts. Therefore the PA, being a front to many Croatians, was considered by many in the Black Lion Front (BLF), African Socialist Party (ASP) and Free Africa (FA) to be an 'illegal government' and representative not of the populace, but of the Croatians. Thus a new, separate provisional government was drawn up, finally coming to fruitition a week after the general election.

The territories of ISAR are those regions controlled by the South African Independence League (SAIL) mayors: North-West (Mmabatho), Limpopo (Polokwane) and Gauteng (Pretoria). Although not formally recognized as a separate state, ISAR is the third de facto nation to occupy territory on the continent of Africa after the original South African Republic and Indonesian-controlled regions.

The declaration, posted in a newspaper article on September 7th rea😛

We, the South Africans call for our independence, sovereignty, self-determination, and system of democracy.

We, who run the local provinces of Limpopo, North-West, and Gauteng declare independence from the federal government and have declared ourselves sovereign and free of tyranny and dictatorship.

We, the people living in these free provinces have founded together the Independent South African Republic, a new country run by the people for the people democratically and with respect. Although the regions of Free State, run by Free Africa, and Mpumalanga, dictated by Proud Africa are currently labeled as disputed territories, they are also part of the new independent country as soon as the people and their mayor makes a declaration.

The Independent South African Republic is the only legitimate South Africa with the only legitimate government.

We, the congressmen of the South African Republic, illegally elected and installed in government by chance, who notice the government's illegitimacy and destabilization of democracy, boycott the government and vote against all illegal proposals in a united bloc.

The provincial government of the Independent South African Republic is made up of the mayors of each province who exert equal power and independence.

The defense forces of the Independent South African Republic are made up of anyone who fights for our cause and on our side for independence, sovereignty, self-determination, and freedom from tyranny, foreign rule, downpression, corruption, and dictatorship. The unofficial army is referred to as the Armed Forces of the Independent South African Republic (AFISAR), and will protect South Africa and the South African people at all costs.

For freedom, democracy, independence, self-determination, and an end to fascism, tyranny, dictatorship, downpression, foreign rule, imperialism, injustice, and all other destructive forces that pose a threat to South Africa and its people.

Signed,
Esteban Delgado
President of the Black Lion Front
Mayor of Polokwane, Limpopo in the Independent South African Republic
Co-Founder of the South African Independence League
