Hello Cape Town

This is the Cape Chronicle! And it’s a re-enactment of the Cape’s history from 1861 to date. It is as far as possible, a factually accurate rendition of events of the time, as experienced by William Foster, founder of the newspaper back in 1861, and his “team” of correspondents spread throughout the Colony.

The vision of this publication is to preserve the Cape Franchise history and culture in a country where the history books are rewritten to reflect a new truth. It is not intended to replace facts, but to preserve those recorded before they are, like so many other aspects of society under ANC Rule, totally destroyed.

The Cape Chronicle does not report on news and events that happened outside the borders of the Western Cape Province, but will report on matters that has a direct impact on the lives of the people in the province.

The Cape Chronicle supports the self-governance of the Cape Province as it did back in 1861 and objects to any form of rule by corrupt, incompetent and racially biased government, British or otherwise.

We do not, and never will publish anything that may be construed to support, nor to oppose the current regime. We do however believe it’s in the interest of our readers to be kept informed about corruption, incompetence, mismanagement and people who pretend to be leaders, but cannot count further than eleventy.

While we will steer clear of modern era politics, history is not treated the same. Our mission is to preserve the Cape culture as we know it, grew up with it, and save it for our future generations.

For all legal and other purposes, the Cape Chronicle is a work of art and protected under the Constitution under the right of freedom of expression, freedom of Speech and although it’s historical content is not news related anymore, current affairs are indeed also protected under the freedom of the Press.

  1. I love it! Rather than breaking contemporary political news or publishing malicious hoaxes, its articles mix historical reflections (such as pieces on the legacy of Nelson Mandela, early colonial figures like Sir Benjamin D’Urban, and historical journalism like John Tengo Jabavu) alongside simulated or retrospective lookbacks at past local timelines.

  2. The site explicitly describes itself as a historical re-enactment and digital archive project, mapping out stories, events, and historical perspectives of the Cape from 1861 onward.
