TCAS mode selection into CPT will normally be in AUTO. The FCOM instruction you've so kindly posted does mention that TA mode should be selected when operating into airports with closely-spaced parallel or converging runways - none of these are applicable in CPT.
Secondly, into and out of CPT in IMC, the PC's and fling wings often are a problem. They do get special VFR clearance and very often. A lot of heli traffic requires runway or extended centre line crossing clearance when routing from the V&A heliport to the winelands and also local based light aircraft routing to and from the GFA's . As you may or may not know, it often happens that a band of cloud stretches from the Melkbos area, over the airport to False Bay while the rest of the peninsula and Boland is in brilliant sunshine. When this happens, local ATC is more often than not accommodating and allows special VFR traffic. It is specifically in these cases that ATC need to pass more traffic info.
The example I cited in my first post hardly constitutes a VMC ILS - head down or not.
Before you continue writing crap about TCAS/ACAS, take a couple of minutes and read the following downloadable document:
