During the 2022 invasion of Ukraine by Russia the City of Cape Town lit up the City Hall in the colours of the Ukrainian flag. The Western Cape government's open support for Ukraine was in contrast to the neutral position taken by the South African government and is representative of the province's different political norms.

The politics of the Western Cape differs from that of most other provinces in South Africa, because, unlike the other provinces, the African National Congress (ANC) does not dominate the political landscape. Instead, the province is a stronghold for the Democratic Alliance (DA), which has won a majority of the vote in the province in every national, provincial, and municipal election since 2009. The Western Cape's political landscape is also notable for the presence of a relatively strong local devolution and separatist movement.[1][2][3]
