Proud member of this tiny town, cleanest town in Africa well run organised financially stable. Absolute gem in the middle of the Karoo. Never ever hear racist remarks in the town. The residents need to be left alone.
You guys should invite more farmers and craftsmen/professionals to your town.Last week's nationwide looting and rioting surely got some off the fence on moving there
Well said!! If I was still living in South Africa, I would head to Orania to live, for sure. We got out in 1994 because we could see the writing on the wall and thank God we left when we did. My father was a boer through and through and he taught his children about patriotism, discipline and respect. We never left because we wanted to, we left because we felt we had no other choice. It's a pity we didn't stay and move to Orania. It's too late now. Been living in the UK for 19 years.
Quite a few people here have asked for English subtitles. I would agree. Shows the interest. I'm in South Africa and can understand Afrikaans, except a few words here and there. The video gives good and interesting information about Orania. I could have added English subtitles, but the video is not unfortunately enabled for community contributions, so I couldn't. I've just done an English transcript of it. It would be good if it could be pinned. ---- White Orania Unity in similarity. Orania: Exclusively white. Orania: Source of media sensation. Orania: Where Apartheid lives on. Orania: The little town that racism built. Orania: Valley of the Afrikaners. Orania, a small Northern Cape town between Hopetown and Petrusville, is internationally known, because there is an exclusive white Afrikaner community living there. Orania was originally an unfrequented, nameless settlement of the Department of Home Affairs. It lies on the bank of the Orange River. Secede, or rather, the Afrikaner Freedom Front, bought the land in 1991 and called it Orania. Professor Carel Boshoff, the father of Orania, was the son-in-law of Dr HF Verwoerd, Prime Minister of South Africa in the 1960’s, and more well known as the Apartheid leader. Carel Boshoff’s son, also Carel, took it over from his father. Carel Boshoff senior has recently passed away. The total population is more than a thousand, and it is growing annually. The ‘Small Giant’, what Orania’s symbol is called, depicts everything. The ‘Small Giant’ represents a small man, who rolls up his sleeves, and on his own steam does everything that is necessary to establish his own future. Orania is an Afrikaner cultural and political movement to preserve the Afrikaners’ heritage and ensure their future. At least, that is how it is described in their desires. But, to what lengths will Oranias go to achieve that? Archive material. Prof Carel Boshoff, founder of Orania, “For the Afrikaner nation to continue living on in Africa as a nation, there are three conditions that he must have. The first is an own piece of land, the second is self-determination over own institutions, and the third is self-work with him executing his own work. And, it must be built from scratch out of the ground, if the Afrikaner is serious about his future.” The nerves are troubled when someone visits Orania for the first time. You expect an over-dose of racism, political hot-headedness, marching boots, and be caught in a type of concentration camp. Ha ha, watch out. This town is so small that you can easily drive past it. Small it can be, but has made big headlines, and were mostly negative. Now one can wonder, “How can these abandoned streets provoke so much criticism?” Lida Strydom, Orania’s Information Official, easily answers difficult questions. What makes Orania different? In Orania we also have the same language, culture, and religious history. The only thing that differs is the working together. We use our own people for all the work in Orania. Why the Northern Cape? We must get an area that is populated by us, where we can form the majority. And, this Northwest Cape was the area that the research pointed out would be the best for the whole project. Years ago there was an initiative to do it at Morgenzon. The Orania workers worked very hard there and tried very hard, but it simply did not work out because there are too many black people, too many other population groups. A Racist town? We know of various journalists who are specifically sent to Orania to scratch out racism. Orania is not free from racism, just like Pretoria, Bloemfontein and Potchefstroom isn’t free from racism. But, in our nature we are not racist. Are other races and languages welcome? How are people selected? The selection process is actually a dependent, information process. That is to explain to people what Orania is. And, that people aren’t disillusioned after staying here for a time. I think that’s the most important reason. That’s not to say you may not, and you are welcome. I reckon it’s inclusive, it’s not exclusive. The person must at the end of the day decide for himself if he will fit in with the ideal.
cont. 5:34 Freek Robertson speaks to Carel Boshoff IV on RSG (Radio Sonder Grense - Radio without borders). What about brown people who want to settle there? Is it possible, or black people, is it possible? We operate within the Constitution, and no-one can be excluded according to it. The fact is that we are a goal driven community. We expect people to fit in with the goal driven rules of Orania. We had at a time, long ago, an American, and we had a Portuguese, who stayed for a while. But, we found out that the people, as we explained to them, don’t stay long. We get, from time to time, a man who will try to show in a striking way that he can fit in. But, we quickly come to realise that it’s a joke, but we handle everyone in a standard way. I had a guy who on a good day asked me if he could come and stay here. In a short and sweet way I said to him yes. After the time he asked me if I’m serious. I said yes, exactly how serious he was when he first put forward the question. Orania is a secluded and a closed knit community, typically like the white small towns of old South Africa. We want people here who will fit in with the spirit of this community, and we prefer naturally an Afrikaner community. This is not a Boere heaven. This is a hard place, where you work hard, where there’re climate extremes, where there’s not so much money available, where there’s lots of giving. Orania Community Hall. Orania is a genuinely integrated community. The guy who removes the garbage, or cleans the streets, or fixes the ruins, is the same guy that sits next to you at church on Sunday. But, we all know each other, so we do well to each other. It is actually a privilege to be in such a community, where one doesn’t have to pay for everything. Everything is not measured in money. A person feels maybe ‘cool’ in Orania, therefore many whites who can’t find work or who were traumitised by crime look for a place here. (Welcome to Orania. Secure future for our people!) These people are called refugees. There are definitely people who come for the whole ideal, and what it’s understood to mean. But, these days what we get more and more are refugees. Resident. The poor Afrikaners, the real ones who are farmers, would come here in the middle of the night with bags, and we must accommodate them. (Own ground. Own work. New future.) The law of Orania is helping yourself. Many desperate whites come to Orania with all their possessions in a carton box to this small town. They are accommodated for two weeks, wherein they must get a job and a place to stay.
cont. 8:20 Although the Rand stays the legal tender, Orania has a symbolical unit that goods and services can be paid with. The Ora works like a coupon. The Ora is directly pegged to the Rand. If we have a million Ora in circulation, and that we have, and more than that, then we have a million Rand in the bank. Last year I think we had something like R400000 in Oras that went out of Orania, which never came back. The people buy it as souvenirs, take it with them, and the money stays in Orania. If you look closely at the Ora you’ll see that it is full of symbols. Everyone, from the hundred Ora note to the ten Ora note, has its own symbols that are brought up on it. There are two schools that parents can send their children to. A boarding school also accommodates children from outside the settlement. There is the CVO, or Academic, School that uses the classical teaching methods, where the teachers stand in front of the class and gives classes to the children. They focus on other things that People Schools would focus on. People School has a unique approach, driven by computers, where the child takes full responsibility for himself. He doesn’t have a teacher for the class. Classes are not given to him. He must determine his own way how he will study. A child of ten years learns to plan a full day’s work. Wynard Boshoff, Principle: People School. Every child works at his own pace and on the subjects that he gets a chance to at this stage. The result that we get is children who take much more ownership of their teaching career. They are not busy making the teacher’s day by doing their work. They are busy building their own teaching career. The ideology that the Oranians believe in, is lived out within the framework of the South African Constitution. What do you mean by a political expert? Prof. Kobus du Pisani, School of Social and Political Studies. It is written in the Constitution, the new Constitution, the right to establish a homeland, an Afrikaner homeland. We have very clearly said that we strive for a homeland, that we strive for a state where the Afrikaner can feel safe, where he can be himself, where he lives his culture, where he lives his religion, and live his educational preference, without looking over his shoulder. The culture wouldn’t stay the same. The language also doesn’t stay the same. The religion, all those facets of the Afrikaner culture, will change. Public opinions on Twitter. Join the Orania Movements groups on Facebook and Twitter. “Racism will not prevail… and it belongs in hell, do not forget who is tolerating who in this homeland…” Orania Movement’s reaction, “Orania treats everyone well. All South Africans are equal. Big mistake to say one group is tolerating another. SA belong to all of us.” “A country within a country is just not on. How can you build a house inside another house?” Orania Movement’s reaction, “It is not a country within another country. It is a form of selfdetermination (Article 235 of the constitution) by a cultural group." Despite vicious criticism and rousing of suspicion, often by their own people, the community is accepted by the state. Our launderette. “Where we wash and iron for your convenience.” Zuma, “My impression is different from what we at times hear, that there’s a community that wants to establish some republic somewhere. I think it is a community that is prepared to live within South Africa, but have a place for itself to exercise its culture, etc.” Perhaps it is that they expect less from the state than their countrymen, and are rather prepared to scratch out their own food. They do their thing there, they have the right to do it if they want to do it, and one must actually wish them good luck. Next time you drive that route, turn off to Orania. You might be surprised.
Just leave them be, they aren't hurting anyone, they haven't kicked anyone out, they just want their own land, they can't return to Europe they have nowhere else to go. Just leave them alone.
Rob Porter is the voice of reason. What the blacks will hate is if Orania is a success. Especially with the rest of South Africa and Africa such a mess under black control. For that reason they will want to destroy it - a white island of success in a black sea of failure would be too much of an indictment.
comedic genius Haha, that's because they're miles behind the rest of the world, idiot. If Africa is so great why are Africans risking their lives on boats daily to get into Europe?
comedic genius Alright I agree with you. What was your gripe with my original post then? I think white South Africans should be given right of return to Europe but our government's make it very hard for them to move here.
Beautiful place, beautiful city. In peace, with education, discipline, with well-defined rules and without expropriations. That this initiative, whether as private land or not, serves as a reference for the rest of the South African country. (Pragtige plek, pragtige stad. In vrede, met opvoeding, dissipline, met goed gedefinieerde reëls en sonder onteiening. Dat hierdie inisiatief, hetsy op private grond of nie, as verwysing vir die res van die Suid-Afrikaanse land dien.)
Donna O'Reilly yea weird innit, still they are racist right I mean cmon it's 2017 white people arent allowed to exist like the rest of the world in an ethnostate remember.
With the high rate of murders rapes and robberies in sa I think that these guys have the right idea. They are safe and effective. Some of the people who comment on this page are not even from sa. They are racist themselves.
Afrikaners should have done this decades ago instead of maintaining the unsustainable apartheid. They would have kept a larger portion of their country.
+armand bly Well said, sanctions during the bush war etc was crippling us, but it did take a lot of hard work from countries who now turn their back on SA
Actually, the majority of Africans have moved in their current areas in the 1820s during Zulu's mass-murdering rampage through eastern South Africa. Only the bushmen and the Xhosa have a legitimate claim that they were earlier in the area than the white people, and the white people had more than enough area to expand in at first without damaging the original tribal lands of the Xhosa. Zululand was never owned by the whites and during most of the Apartheid era it was a self-ruling territory. If you want to give the ownership to one 'group' in South Africa, then the Afrikaners have a much better claim to it than you, so you should be content with the current situation instead of moaning about your lost lands because you never owned them to begin with.

Afrikaaners sweeping the streets and doing their own labor in the fields - forming their own community, how is this hurting anyone? It is great to see people take care of their own survival in such a pragmatic way, self reliance is a wonderful thing - well done!
This is the point. In apartheid, the Afrikaners paid (as it was convenient for them) what they wanted to the natives, to do the less qualified work. But they did not accept that these workers lived near them or in the same neighborhoods. It started wrong. Therefore, it could not sustain itself in the long term. It had to end. Perhaps Orania is looking for the arrangement that was lacking at the beginning, when the old regime was formed, in 1948. Good future for the South African nation, with prosperity. (Dit is die vraag. Onder apartheid het Afrikaners (soos dit hulle gepas het) aan die inboorlinge betaal wat hulle wou, om die minste geskoolde werk te doen. Maar hulle het nie aanvaar dat hierdie werkers naby hulle of in dieselfde woonbuurte woon nie. Dit het verkeerd begin. Daarom kon dit homself nie op die lange duur onderhou nie. Dit moes eindig. Miskien soek Orania die reëling wat aan die begin, toe die ou bewind in 1948 gevorm is, ontbreek het. Goeie toekoms vir die Suid-Afrikaanse nasie, met voorspoed.)
Afrikaners constitute a despised minority without any real political influence. Having completely lost their former dominance they no longer pose a serious a threat to anyone. On the contrary. Their continued existence as a distinct people is under permanent threat of a hostile majority intent on their destruction. In sight of these facts one must indeed be a very spiteful person not to feel any respect for their effort at saving what little remains of their collective identity. I, for that matter, am deeply impressed by their determination, inventiveness, patriotism, and resilience in face of so much resentment and undeserved scorn. I, therefore, wholeheartedly support their cause.
@@NewarkBrickCity1970 Centuries of suffering under black African leadership has went on longer and still continues The hostility of the “majority” is just bitterness and jealousy
Apartheid defined. I think this is what Verwoerd had in mind and this is obviously a demonstration how it can work. Embracing your culture and acceptance of others in a different place. Paradise on earth. This makes sense. I tried looking for any signs of racism and found none. Not even a signpost saying "whites only". Great video, it made a huge impression on me. I will definitely stop over and visit to support you all and who knows, maybe even join you someday.
Everyone is generalizing this to the extreme! If you need to swear or degrade or preach hatred to make a statement, then you have failed and discredited/lost your rationality of your reason, therefore losing due to your own lack of self control. I leave you with the following thought... If one apple is rotten in a batch of good apples, all the apples will become rotten. Always measure your choice to the love and life of Christ, and if there is any doubt, seek His Word.
Perfectly OK. Same as the Amish in the US, or Mormons in Utah. Reminds me a bit of a "Kibbutz" in Israel. These people were all born here. They did not steal any land or displace any others. Live and let live...
My kids go to a CVO school, the same curriculum as mentioned in the documentary and they receive far superior than what is available in the government schools today. They learn their own relevant history, they study the Christian Religion as part of their studies and the CVO schools had more than a 96% pass rate last year compared to state schools barely making a 70% pass rate. The sad part is the current state sponsored education is worse than Bantu education in the 80's, and thats progress?
I can agree. The state sponsored education system needs a complete refurb. It makes me think of that song 'The Wall' by Pink Floyd, with "We don't need no education." That was ahead of its time. When I did the English transcribe of the video, it was the first time I'd even heard of a CVO school.
I don't judge them. This is their choice. We have to keep in mind, though; that we are in this world to learn to get along with others, to love our neighbours. Acceptance of all races, understanding and tolerating diversity is part of the earthly lesson. So much good can be done to love unconditionally in the process of acceptance of our differences and to work towards healing and reconciliation.
"Acceptance of all races, understanding and tolerating diversity is part of the earthly lesson. So much good can be done to love unconditionally in the process of acceptance of our differences and to work towards healing and reconciliation." Tolerance gets very difficult when you have more than 140 laws excluding you from being economically active because you are White. "acceptance of our differences" We understand an accept this 100%, hence we promote separate development. We have completely different standards in live. I grew up without load shedding, 2 USD to the Rand, potholes got filled, street lights, visible lines on the roads, a drivers licence in my ID book that didn't expire, my gun licence in my ID didn't expire, no electric fences, no farm attacks, unemployment of 75%, grants for the lazy and incompetent, corruption and state coffers looted etc. This is a failed state and you cannot sugarcoat the state of this country. The so called "Rainbow Nation" will never happen. Lets agree to disagree.
@Derek Chauvin Unless you live the Afrikanerdom, you will never understand the Orania concept. The world Mariette sees as Utopia does not exist in South Africa. I also believe in live and let live, but it cannot just come from one side.
@Derek Chauvin Inheritance goes hand in hand with race. Its about race and different races have different standards and values. You cannot sugercoat this one. I grew up without 60 people getting murdered a day, didn't know loadshedding existed, the rivers were clean, potholes were repaired, etc. The list is endless. Its about race. The liberals denies this but we are different in so many ways.
Congratulations Orania community, you can be proud of yourself you do your job,you show the people around your community how to build your own life community, work,be proud,ORANIA,COMUNITY,. we support you in your idea,dont buder this coments around this is people who don't have their own personal identity,.ORANIA people have their identity,pride,.God Save Only Orania People
I've sent them an e-mail asking them if I can join them. I was born in South Africa but left in 1994 just after the elections. I've lived for nearly 20 years in Scotland but I've always wanted to go home but never wanted to live in the "new" South Africa. My dad was a boer and my mum was born in Scotland so I had quite a diverse childhood. But I long to go home. I miss the people, the Afrikaans language, the food, the sun, the land. Here's hoping that they will accept me......:)
LOL, search "Detroit" in any search engine. It's a city whose population used to be majority White, but is now majority black. Needless to say, Detroit has undergone some profoundly negative changes.
Thank you for the gesture. We do not want to immigrate. Africa is in our blood. European countries and governments played a big roll forcing us into this dismal situation. They all see that it is just another failed state in Africa. But they keep on sending funds that gets stolen by the cANCer.
@@Automotive100 LOL that's funny coz 99% OF WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS DATE AMONGST THEIR OWN RACE,ESPECIALLY BOERS,SO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DILUTE THEM?THEY CANT BE MANY OFCOZ,THEY CAN JUST LEAVE SA BUT TO SAY YOU WILL DILUTE THEM AS IF YOU WILL FORCE THEM TO SLEEP WITH YOU IS HILORIOUS.
Unfortunately they cannot because they're becoming infertile...The Afrikan sun is harming their fertility and causes them skin cancer.Our GOD is great.
It is their right to self determination! They are not Dutch of German, they are Afrikaans. They are a white tribe of Africa now. It is not their fault but that of history. As long as they don't go and mess with other African tribes there should be no problem.
Afrikaans is just a language. Their descendants of either Dutch German and French if not a few other Europeans Afrikaans is the language not their nationality. Get it
+porkulate I do agree, however, remember this was an in-house video, only to be watched by examiners at an Afrikaans speaking university. Reason I agree, is because in that way (subs) he could of reached a far wider audience
Point well taken, given the target audience and the prevailing language. However for someone like me in the USA who takes an interest in things happening in South Africa today and who does not speak Afrikaans, it would have been nice to understand what was being said. Thank you for your interest in my comment.
I stay in South Africa and understand Afrikaans, except a few words here and there. The video gives good information about Orania. I could maybe do English subtitles, but is so time consuming. The video is also not enabled for community contributions unfortunately. Many Afrikaners, I found, are like many Americans, like with the isolation way of thinking, not thinking internationally. An Afrikaans film like this one not having English subtitles, is much like an American film, like Hollywood ones, not having Metric subtitles.
I think if a group of people choose to preserve their culture, hey they are entitled to do so. There should be a place where you should call home, I am cool with it!!The Afrikaaner poeple are South Africans too. Remember many thousand years ago only Kooisan people occupied Southern Africa and then the Bantu people migrated from Northern africa to Southern Africa. So the Kooisan are the true rightful owners of this part of the world but they are not the ones chasing all the other races out. So since we are all South Africans let us all live happily within our wonderful country.
Foolish, Africa for Africans. Bantus and Khoisans are Africans and are entitled to the continent. The Afrikaaner is a European settler on the African continent.
@@renatocamo Have blacks in Europe demanded land for themselves?I think the solution will be if we all go back where we originate from....Europe for Whites and Afrika for Blacks.
This "Indian reservation" has to evolve as soon as possible for a country, attracting to the region thousands of white scattered throughout South Africa, beginning with the poor. If not will just be an eccentric luxury condominium.
For these people, Germany, France and the Netherlands were the past, South Africa the present and Orania is the future. Black people should not worry about this small country. They should be concerned to review its colonial borders and constitute a single black country, a United Africa. In the future, a United Europe and a United Africa will combine what to do with the whites born in Africa and black people born in Europe.
While the Afrikaners are definately very close to Dutch culture, I think they have evolved into their own people since the late 18th century on. The Afrikaners have lived there longer than the MAJORITY of the other peoples in the area, with perhaps only the Bushmen and Xhosa living there earlier. I also don't think that the Netherlands, which is already one of the most heavily overpopulated countries on this planet, can take in 3 million Afrikaners, and we wouldn't want that either considering Afrikaners speak their own language and are generally very christian and conservative compared to the Netherlands which is one of the most irreligious progressive countries on the planet.
Just to think the mayhem your country has caused and brought to Africa in particular and what Russia has to show for it today - I would be ashamed to say I was Russian. I am sure the people of Ukraine would back me up too. Take Stalin - the worlds worst mass murderer - worse than Hitler.

My problem was with the film having an English **title** and not having corresponding English subtitles. It's misleading and probably wasted a lot of people's time.
They want go off and separate themselves from the problems and live independently well then fine, more crime and uncertainty for the rest of us. But no seriously, lets fix the problems instead of calling out people who wan't don't want to deal with them. And most may very well be racist, but even if they are, they still have the right to live in any way they choose.
+Cartooniverse South Africa is in such a state at the moment, that people are giving up there careers and going to go work as street sweepers, simply because they think it is a safer and better way of life for them and their children. They didn't separate themselves from the problems, they just proved the problems are not of their making! There is a big difference. Wonder how many robberies, hi-jackings etc occur in Oranje compared to just one intersection in JHB or Pretoria
What is your opinion on how to fix the problem? Being this is a problem in every diverse part of the world how would you fix it? Or do they and most everybody realize a homogenous society is the only one that will work.
All the world's people should learn that all countries belong to all the world's people. Once everyone understand that, than we can finally have a peaceful global community with equality and higher standards of life. No more Wars, poverty and corrupted governments, and racism or prejudice against each other.
That's not true Africans belongs to Africa Europeans belong to Europe,as well as Asians.Where there's is Europeans there's is no peace .Europeans are most brutal killers
***** Although my current comment wasn´t pointed about the social situation in South Africa, I support your opinion. But for a non-afrikaans speaker (my mother tongue is spanish by the way) interested in international politics it´s important to have a channel of comunication to the realities uncovered by the mainstream media. We have the same problems that the afrikaner population in my country (Guatemala) were the ladino population slowly has been forced to retreat from the rural areas to the cities. Even worse, by manipulated the educational system, they deceived the youth to adopt an invented identity as "mayas" because the european, canadian and now american left-wing intervensionist goverments are pushing in this cultural warfare. That´s why I am interested in those succesful examples of people trying to preserve their culture.

@@austrobok2958 Many people around the world are interested in knowing more about Orania, like for ideas, so a translation is needed! And, Orania does want to be more in contact with the international community.
The only reason the ANC and the rest have a issue with a small town like Orania is the very fact that it will show all the failures as African leaders who've been in power for 25 odd years in Southern Africa . The small little town in the middle of know where which has its own Currency . Health facilities, businesses, water, housing etc. This is a clear image to how a small minority of people can live in a safe and beautiful place without interference from criminal and political vultures who seek to destroy a once so powerful southern African country. Who wouldn't want to live like this. .Everyone bringing there part to make sure the town is great . Awesome keep on . God bless. The cream of Europe in Africa !.
The underlying fact that White people don't know or want to except is that, the reason why the country is going to shit is because white people didn't teach black people. To make an anolgy if you were an experienced f1 driver and you gave the wheel to a learner driver who you didn't bother to teach how to drive, there is almost no way you could drive as good as the former driver
I pray that a civil war will never break out in South Africa ever, if it does these people and there’s families will suffer terribly and greatly, I pray for there safety.
According to the Oxford dictionary the word ‘discrimination’ means “recognition & understanding of the difference between 1 thing & another” People make distinctions because they value 1 choice over the other. Freedom does not exist when there is no opportunity to choose between different options. To ban "discrimination" would mean that people are not allowed to make distinctions as it concerns the nature of a particular discrimination & not the principle itself.
My point is simply that ALL Afrikaners (or any1 else) cannot be grouped together with the Boers as I explained earlier. Neither is the term Boer interchangeable with Afrikaner any less than Scottish is with English & even many Scottish are wanting independence from England. Boers do not have a problem with other like minded peoples supporting their struggle being assimilated & I thought this point was actually what you were asking. Many non Boers support the Boers struggle for self determination
The Afrikaner and the Boer have never got on. The Afrikaners or Cape Dutch sided with the British against the Boer in the Boer war and never fought for their own freedom as the Boers did. The Boers also have relatively few Dutch ancestry. The first oppressors of the Boers were the Dutch
You lot are an Insparation and an example to us all what we can achieve, hopefully we can build other whites only towns around the world, God bless you all.
Mixing cultures has failed, forcing people to live amongst eachother when living different ways of lives will create conflicts. Besides look at the crime rates when Apartheid was gone, these people live segrated so they can live safer and happier lives. Personally I´d think a Afrikaner state wouldn´t be a bad idea for these people.
It is important for them to speak only Afrikaans. If they spoke English or French, silly white liberals would try to move in and "reform" them. A lack of blacks means they probably have little or no crime, HIV/AIDS, ebola, or other traits that go hand in hand with a black population, and they want to keep it that way. If speaking a language the blacks do not understand helps in that objective, then go for it.
I believe in private land ownership, there land/house there rules, good luck to them it looks like a lovely safe place to live, with the crime rates over there more communities like this would be good, after all there’s many many towns there where whites cannot go so it’s perfectly acceptable. Peace.
I must admit this documentary did make me reassess my preconcieved notions of Orania. Although I will never support the idea of segregation, I do belive in the idea of creating a community in which hard-work, self-sufficiency, safety and strong community ties are prevalent.
It’s not segregation in itself that you should support. It is self determination. It’s about the freedom to choose. If you don’t have the freedom of association you have a forced association. Integration is positive when it’s voluntary. When it’s forced it becomes negative. It’s the same with segregation. It’s not that segregation was bad in itself it’s that Apartheid was forced segregation. This town is growing because people are volunteering to live there. They are going out of their way to live somewhere it is not easy to live (even as a European) and life their life the way they want to. It’s about autonomy.
Its just to make distinctions when one’s own interests are served & success IS NOT based on the oppression of others. Racial Discrimination should only be illegitimate when people deliberately disadvantage others based on race which is certainly not the case in Orania however one cannot say the same for the country of South Africa with the ANC and their B.E.E policy as it oppresses white people based on their race. It should be outlawed as it is directed at intentionally harming others (whites)
Forgotten history lol I think you need to learn SAs history & how organisations set about deliberately erasing the Boers identity under Afrikaner nationalism. The Boer are a separate nation of people that have a different history to the Afrikaners. You confuse these 2 groups together then ask "in what way do i defend the macro state of South Africa" It is very important to know the history of a region & a people to understand how we got where we are today.
I don't understand Africans but I know the history of the Boers and I really hope they can survive what is happening in SA today . Good luck to you all . I'm a Brit by the way . Ps ask ramaphossa if you can relocate the Voortrekker monument to Orania

Proud member of this tiny town, cleanest town in Africa well run organised financially stable. Absolute gem in the middle of the Karoo. Never ever hear racist remarks in the town. The residents need to be left alone.
You guys should invite more farmers and craftsmen/professionals to your town.Last week's nationwide looting and rioting surely got some off the fence on moving there

Well said!! If I was still living in South Africa, I would head to Orania to live, for sure. We got out in 1994 because we could see the writing on the wall and thank God we left when we did. My father was a boer through and through and he taught his children about patriotism, discipline and respect. We never left because we wanted to, we left because we felt we had no other choice. It's a pity we didn't stay and move to Orania. It's too late now. Been living in the UK for 19 years.
UK is turning to South Africa so you should move to Orania
Quite a few people here have asked for English subtitles. I would agree. Shows the interest.
I'm in South Africa and can understand Afrikaans, except a few words here and there. The video gives good and interesting information about Orania. I could have added English subtitles, but the video is not unfortunately enabled for community contributions, so I couldn't. I've just done an English transcript of it. It would be good if it could be pinned.

White Orania
Unity in similarity.
Orania:
Exclusively white.
Orania:
Source of media sensation.
Orania:
Where Apartheid lives on.
Orania:
The little town that racism built.
Orania:
Valley of the Afrikaners.
Orania, a small Northern Cape town between Hopetown and Petrusville, is internationally known, because there is an exclusive white Afrikaner community living there. Orania was originally an unfrequented, nameless settlement of the Department of Home Affairs. It lies on the bank of the Orange River. Secede, or rather, the Afrikaner Freedom Front, bought the land in 1991 and called it Orania. Professor Carel Boshoff, the father of Orania, was the son-in-law of Dr HF Verwoerd, Prime Minister of South Africa in the 1960’s, and more well known as the Apartheid leader. Carel Boshoff’s son, also Carel, took it over from his father. Carel Boshoff senior has recently passed away.
The total population is more than a thousand, and it is growing annually. The ‘Small Giant’, what Orania’s symbol is called, depicts everything. The ‘Small Giant’ represents a small man, who rolls up his sleeves, and on his own steam does everything that is necessary to establish his own future. Orania is an Afrikaner cultural and political movement to preserve the Afrikaners’ heritage and ensure their future. At least, that is how it is described in their desires. But, to what lengths will Oranias go to achieve that?
Archive material. Prof Carel Boshoff, founder of Orania, “For the Afrikaner nation to continue living on in Africa as a nation, there are three conditions that he must have. The first is an own piece of land, the second is self-determination over own institutions, and the third is self-work with him executing his own work. And, it must be built from scratch out of the ground, if the Afrikaner is serious about his future.”
The nerves are troubled when someone visits Orania for the first time. You expect an over-dose of racism, political hot-headedness, marching boots, and be caught in a type of concentration camp. Ha ha, watch out. This town is so small that you can easily drive past it. Small it can be, but has made big headlines, and were mostly negative.
Now one can wonder, “How can these abandoned streets provoke so much criticism?”
Lida Strydom, Orania’s Information Official, easily answers difficult questions.
What makes Orania different?
In Orania we also have the same language, culture, and religious history. The only thing that differs is the working together. We use our own people for all the work in Orania.
Why the Northern Cape?
We must get an area that is populated by us, where we can form the majority. And, this Northwest Cape was the area that the research pointed out would be the best for the whole project. Years ago there was an initiative to do it at Morgenzon. The Orania workers worked very hard there and tried very hard, but it simply did not work out because there are too many black people, too many other population groups.
A Racist town?
We know of various journalists who are specifically sent to Orania to scratch out racism. Orania is not free from racism, just like Pretoria, Bloemfontein and Potchefstroom isn’t free from racism. But, in our nature we are not racist.
Are other races and languages welcome?
How are people selected?
The selection process is actually a dependent, information process. That is to explain to people what Orania is. And, that people aren’t disillusioned after staying here for a time. I think that’s the most important reason. That’s not to say you may not, and you are welcome. I reckon it’s inclusive, it’s not exclusive. The person must at the end of the day decide for himself if he will fit in with the ideal.
cont. 5:34
Freek Robertson speaks to Carel Boshoff IV on RSG (Radio Sonder Grense - Radio without borders). What about brown people who want to settle there? Is it possible, or black people, is it possible? We operate within the Constitution, and no-one can be excluded according to it. The fact is that we are a goal driven community. We expect people to fit in with the goal driven rules of Orania.
We had at a time, long ago, an American, and we had a Portuguese, who stayed for a while. But, we found out that the people, as we explained to them, don’t stay long. We get, from time to time, a man who will try to show in a striking way that he can fit in. But, we quickly come to realise that it’s a joke, but we handle everyone in a standard way. I had a guy who on a good day asked me if he could come and stay here. In a short and sweet way I said to him yes. After the time he asked me if I’m serious. I said yes, exactly how serious he was when he first put forward the question.
Orania is a secluded and a closed knit community, typically like the white small towns of old South Africa. We want people here who will fit in with the spirit of this community, and we prefer naturally an Afrikaner community.
This is not a Boere heaven. This is a hard place, where you work hard, where there’re climate extremes, where there’s not so much money available, where there’s lots of giving.
Orania Community Hall. Orania is a genuinely integrated community. The guy who removes the garbage, or cleans the streets, or fixes the ruins, is the same guy that sits next to you at church on Sunday. But, we all know each other, so we do well to each other. It is actually a privilege to be in such a community, where one doesn’t have to pay for everything. Everything is not measured in money.
A person feels maybe ‘cool’ in Orania, therefore many whites who can’t find work or who were traumitised by crime look for a place here. (Welcome to Orania. Secure future for our people!) These people are called refugees.
There are definitely people who come for the whole ideal, and what it’s understood to mean. But, these days what we get more and more are refugees.
Resident. The poor Afrikaners, the real ones who are farmers, would come here in the middle of the night with bags, and we must accommodate them. (Own ground. Own work. New future.)
The law of Orania is helping yourself. Many desperate whites come to Orania with all their possessions in a carton box to this small town. They are accommodated for two weeks, wherein they must get a job and a place to stay.
cont. 8:20
Although the Rand stays the legal tender, Orania has a symbolical unit that goods and services can be paid with. The Ora works like a coupon. The Ora is directly pegged to the Rand. If we have a million Ora in circulation, and that we have, and more than that, then we have a million Rand in the bank. Last year I think we had something like R400000 in Oras that went out of Orania, which never came back. The people buy it as souvenirs, take it with them, and the money stays in Orania. If you look closely at the Ora you’ll see that it is full of symbols. Everyone, from the hundred Ora note to the ten Ora note, has its own symbols that are brought up on it.
There are two schools that parents can send their children to. A boarding school also accommodates children from outside the settlement. There is the CVO, or Academic, School that uses the classical teaching methods, where the teachers stand in front of the class and gives classes to the children. They focus on other things that People Schools would focus on. People School has a unique approach, driven by computers, where the child takes full responsibility for himself. He doesn’t have a teacher for the class. Classes are not given to him. He must determine his own way how he will study. A child of ten years learns to plan a full day’s work.
Wynard Boshoff, Principle: People School. Every child works at his own pace and on the subjects that he gets a chance to at this stage. The result that we get is children who take much more ownership of their teaching career. They are not busy making the teacher’s day by doing their work. They are busy building their own teaching career.
The ideology that the Oranians believe in, is lived out within the framework of the South African Constitution.
What do you mean by a political expert?
Prof. Kobus du Pisani, School of Social and Political Studies. It is written in the Constitution, the new Constitution, the right to establish a homeland, an Afrikaner homeland.
We have very clearly said that we strive for a homeland, that we strive for a state where the Afrikaner can feel safe, where he can be himself, where he lives his culture, where he lives his religion, and live his educational preference, without looking over his shoulder.
The culture wouldn’t stay the same. The language also doesn’t stay the same. The religion, all those facets of the Afrikaner culture, will change.
Public opinions on Twitter.
Join the Orania Movements groups on Facebook and Twitter.
“Racism will not prevail… and it belongs in hell, do not forget who is tolerating who in this homeland…”
Orania Movement’s reaction, “Orania treats everyone well. All South Africans are equal. Big mistake to say one group is tolerating another. SA belong to all of us.”
“A country within a country is just not on. How can you build a house inside another house?”
Orania Movement’s reaction, “It is not a country within another country. It is a form of selfdetermination (Article 235 of the constitution) by a cultural group."
Despite vicious criticism and rousing of suspicion, often by their own people, the community is accepted by the state.
Our launderette. “Where we wash and iron for your convenience.”
Zuma, “My impression is different from what we at times hear, that there’s a community that wants to establish some republic somewhere. I think it is a community that is prepared to live within South Africa, but have a place for itself to exercise its culture, etc.”
Perhaps it is that they expect less from the state than their countrymen, and are rather prepared to scratch out their own food.
They do their thing there, they have the right to do it if they want to do it, and one must actually wish them good luck.
Next time you drive that route, turn off to Orania. You might be surprised.
Just leave them be, they aren't hurting anyone, they haven't kicked anyone out, they just want their own land, they can't return to Europe they have nowhere else to go. Just leave them alone.
Rob Porter is the voice of reason. What the blacks will hate is if Orania is a success. Especially with the rest of South Africa and Africa such a mess under black control. For that reason they will want to destroy it - a white island of success in a black sea of failure would be too much of an indictment.
comedic genius Haha, that's because they're miles behind the rest of the world, idiot.
If Africa is so great why are Africans risking their lives on boats daily to get into Europe?
comedic genius Alright I agree with you. What was your gripe with my original post then?
I think white South Africans should be given right of return to Europe but our government's make it very hard for them to move here.
Nina Irish why the anti semitism? You discredit everything you say when the old Jew hatred rears it’s ugly head
Vivian Prinsloo because it's true.
Beautiful place, beautiful city.

Orania is even more needed now
With the high rate of murders rapes and robberies in sa I think that these guys have the right idea. They are safe and effective. Some of the people who comment on this page are not even from sa. They are racist themselves.
Afrikaners should have done this decades ago instead of maintaining the unsustainable apartheid. They would have kept a larger portion of their country.
+armand bly Well said, sanctions during the bush war etc was crippling us, but it did take a lot of hard work from countries who now turn their back on SA
Which country is theirs again?
Actually, the majority of Africans have moved in their current areas in the 1820s during Zulu's mass-murdering rampage through eastern South Africa. Only the bushmen and the Xhosa have a legitimate claim that they were earlier in the area than the white people, and the white people had more than enough area to expand in at first without damaging the original tribal lands of the Xhosa. Zululand was never owned by the whites and during most of the Apartheid era it was a self-ruling territory.
If you want to give the ownership to one 'group' in South Africa, then the Afrikaners have a much better claim to it than you, so you should be content with the current situation instead of moaning about your lost lands because you never owned them to begin with.

Ik wens u veel geluk, dappere Afrikaners.

Afrikaaners sweeping the streets and doing their own labor in the fields - forming their own community, how is this hurting anyone? It is great to see people take care of their own survival in such a pragmatic way, self reliance is a wonderful thing - well done!
Gilead in the "A Hand Maidens Tale" had a similar mentality.
@@conor909 Which then begs the question...
@@catinthehatworshipper1160 whats the question?
This is the point.
In apartheid, the Afrikaners paid (as it was convenient for them) what they wanted to the natives, to do the less qualified work.
But they did not accept that these workers lived near them or in the same neighborhoods.
It started wrong.
Therefore, it could not sustain itself in the long term. It had to end.
Perhaps Orania is looking for the arrangement that was lacking at the beginning, when the old regime was formed, in 1948.
Good future for the South African nation, with prosperity.
(Dit is die vraag.
Onder apartheid het Afrikaners (soos dit hulle gepas het) aan die inboorlinge betaal wat hulle wou, om die minste geskoolde werk te doen.
Maar hulle het nie aanvaar dat hierdie werkers naby hulle of in dieselfde woonbuurte woon nie.
Dit het verkeerd begin.
Daarom kon dit homself nie op die lange duur onderhou nie. Dit moes eindig.
Miskien soek Orania die reëling wat aan die begin, toe die ou bewind in 1948 gevorm is, ontbreek het.
Goeie toekoms vir die Suid-Afrikaanse nasie, met voorspoed.)
Afrikaners constitute a despised minority without any real political influence. Having completely lost their former dominance they no longer pose a serious a threat to anyone. On the contrary. Their continued existence as a distinct people is under permanent threat of a hostile majority intent on their destruction.
In sight of these facts one must indeed be a very spiteful person not to feel any respect for their effort at saving what little remains of their collective identity. I, for that matter, am deeply impressed by their determination, inventiveness, patriotism, and resilience in face of so much resentment and undeserved scorn. I, therefore, wholeheartedly support their cause.
The hostility of the majority is 100% justified after decades of suffering being under your heel.
@@NewarkBrickCity1970 Centuries of suffering under black African leadership has went on longer and still continues
The hostility of the “majority” is just bitterness and jealousy
@@NewarkBrickCity1970 The hostility is simply jealousy because of their success. If they had failed blacks wouldn't care.
It's a great place clean and safe well run. We'll done you have lots to be proud of. Love going there wish them only the best
This is not racism. This is not apartheid. This is fantastic👍 I am not even white.
This is a example.
What a beautiful place to live
Apartheid defined. I think this is what Verwoerd had in mind and this is obviously a demonstration how it can work. Embracing your culture and acceptance of others in a different place. Paradise on earth. This makes sense.
I tried looking for any signs of racism and found none. Not even a signpost saying "whites only". Great video, it made a huge impression on me.
I will definitely stop over and visit to support you all and who knows, maybe even join you someday.
There should not be forced segregation, or forced integration.

Everyone is generalizing this to the extreme! If you need to swear or degrade or preach hatred to make a statement, then you have failed and discredited/lost your rationality of your reason, therefore losing due to your own lack of self control.
I leave you with the following thought...
If one apple is rotten in a batch of good apples, all the apples will become rotten. Always measure your choice to the love and life of Christ, and if there is any doubt, seek His Word.
Perfectly OK.
Same as the Amish in the US, or Mormons in Utah.
Reminds me a bit of a "Kibbutz" in Israel.
These people were all born here. They did not steal any land or displace any others.
Live and let live...
They actually did displace people. The displaced the coloureds and the Africans.
No, actually those who did the displacing are passed away now.
Ik ben trots op wat mijn Afrikaanse bloedbroeders bereikt hebben in Orania.
My kids go to a CVO school, the same curriculum as mentioned in the documentary and they receive far superior than what is available in the government schools today.
They learn their own relevant history, they study the Christian Religion as part of their studies and the CVO schools had more than a 96% pass rate last year compared to state schools barely making a 70% pass rate.
The sad part is the current state sponsored education is worse than Bantu education in the 80's, and thats progress?
I can agree. The state sponsored education system needs a complete refurb. It makes me think of that song 'The Wall' by Pink Floyd, with "We don't need no education." That was ahead of its time.
When I did the English transcribe of the video, it was the first time I'd even heard of a CVO school.
God bless the people of Orania.
I don't judge them. This is their choice. We have to keep in mind, though; that we are in this world to learn to get along with others, to love our neighbours. Acceptance of all races, understanding and tolerating diversity is part of the earthly lesson. So much good can be done to love unconditionally in the process of acceptance of our differences and to work towards healing and reconciliation.
Quite true, but it should cut both ways. The Afrikaner cannot be the race to sacrifice all the time. Look where our country finds itself today.
"Acceptance of all races, understanding and tolerating diversity is part of the earthly lesson. So much good can be done to love unconditionally in the process of acceptance of our differences and to work towards healing and reconciliation."
Tolerance gets very difficult when you have more than 140 laws excluding you from being economically active because you are White.
"acceptance of our differences" We understand an accept this 100%, hence we promote separate development. We have completely different standards in live. I grew up without load shedding, 2 USD to the Rand, potholes got filled, street lights, visible lines on the roads, a drivers licence in my ID book that didn't expire, my gun licence in my ID didn't expire, no electric fences, no farm attacks, unemployment of 75%, grants for the lazy and incompetent, corruption and state coffers looted etc. This is a failed state and you cannot sugarcoat the state of this country. The so called "Rainbow Nation" will never happen. Lets agree to disagree.
@Derek Chauvin Unless you live the Afrikanerdom, you will never understand the Orania concept. The world Mariette sees as Utopia does not exist in South Africa. I also believe in live and let live, but it cannot just come from one side.
@Derek Chauvin Inheritance goes hand in hand with race. Its about race and different races have different standards and values. You cannot sugercoat this one.
I grew up without 60 people getting murdered a day, didn't know loadshedding existed, the rivers were clean, potholes were repaired, etc. The list is endless. Its about race. The liberals denies this but we are different in so many ways.

I've lived for nearly 20 years in Scotland but I've always wanted to go home but never wanted to live in the "new" South Africa. My dad was a boer and my mum was born in Scotland so I had quite a diverse childhood. But I long to go home. I miss the people, the Afrikaans language, the food, the sun, the land.

Point well taken, given the target audience and the prevailing language. However for someone like me in the USA who takes an interest in things happening in South Africa today and who does not speak Afrikaans, it would have been nice to understand what was being said. Thank you for your interest in my comment.
I stay in South Africa and understand Afrikaans, except a few words here and there. The video gives good information about Orania. I could maybe do English subtitles, but is so time consuming. The video is also not enabled for community contributions unfortunately.
Many Afrikaners, I found, are like many Americans, like with the isolation way of thinking, not thinking internationally.
An Afrikaans film like this one not having English subtitles, is much like an American film, like Hollywood ones, not having Metric subtitles.

I think if a group of people choose to preserve their culture, hey they are entitled to do so. There should be a place where you should call home, I am cool with it!!The Afrikaaner poeple are South Africans too. Remember many thousand years ago only Kooisan people occupied Southern Africa and then the Bantu people migrated from Northern africa to Southern Africa. So the Kooisan are the true rightful owners of this part of the world but they are not the ones chasing all the other races out. So since we are all South Africans let us all live happily within our wonderful country.
Foolish, Africa for Africans. Bantus and Khoisans are Africans and are entitled to the continent. The Afrikaaner is a European settler on the African continent.
+bitchasshoeism Yes exactly what about blacks in Europe.

Its not racism!! Its like only allowing indians on a reservation
whites have been in south africa for 400-500 yrs...
This "Indian reservation" has to evolve as soon as possible for a country, attracting to the region thousands of white scattered throughout South Africa, beginning with the poor. If not will just be an eccentric luxury condominium.
For these people, Germany, France and the Netherlands were the past, South Africa the present and Orania is the future. Black people should not worry about this small country. They should be concerned to review its colonial borders and constitute a single black country, a United Africa. In the future, a United Europe and a United Africa will combine what to do with the whites born in Africa and black people born in Europe.
While the Afrikaners are definately very close to Dutch culture, I think they have evolved into their own people since the late 18th century on. The Afrikaners have lived there longer than the MAJORITY of the other peoples in the area, with perhaps only the Bushmen and Xhosa living there earlier. I also don't think that the Netherlands, which is already one of the most heavily overpopulated countries on this planet, can take in 3 million Afrikaners, and we wouldn't want that either considering Afrikaners speak their own language and are generally very christian and conservative compared to the Netherlands which is one of the most irreligious progressive countries on the planet.
You may not want them, but many in the Netherlands would rather have the Afrikaners then the hordes of Muslims.
This just looks like any town in rural Scotland, what's the big deal?
jimmyinfrance It took Scotland centuries to build they did it in couple of years 😆
The big deal is that Scotland is in europe while orania is in Africa, Africa will never be home for whites I'm afraid.
@@jacobjacob4139 Orania is in Africa and the inhabitants are Africans.
please name the video/write the url.
Support from Russia! Hail Orania and Afrikaaners!
Think that someday that type of community will become popular among Europeans
Just to think the mayhem your country has caused and brought to Africa in particular and what Russia has to show for it today - I would be ashamed to say I was Russian. I am sure the people of Ukraine would back me up too. Take Stalin - the worlds worst mass murderer - worse than Hitler.
God bless Orania.
Oranja hot a Sjier interesante geschichte ,
Es is gewen feste zu se'en .
very bad indeed - where did the starting capital came from?
Could do with some English subtitles seeing as how the video title is in English. I downvoted for that reason, sorry.
I stay in South Africa and understand Afrikaans, except a few words here and there. The video gives good and interesting information about Orania. Perhaps I could do English subtitles, but is so time consuming. The video is also not unfortunately enabled for community contributions, so I couldn't.
I found that many Afrikaners are like many Americans, like with the isolation way of thinking, not thinking internationally.
An Afrikaans film like this one not having English subtitles, is much like an American film, like Hollywood films, not having Metric subtitles.
My problem was with the film having an English **title** and not having corresponding English subtitles. It's misleading and probably wasted a lot of people's time.
I agree, I would like to know what theyre talking about! It would reach a wider European audience
I would also agree. I just did a transcribed English translation. It would then be good if it could be pinned.
Jo Do if you can't understand English with a South African accent you're pretty fucking stupid! Lol
Looks like a good video, I've no idea what's going on though, I assume the language is Afrikaans.
+Felix Fedre you dont want to know brah
The language is Afrikaans, and gives good interesting information about Orania.
I did an English transcribe of it.
Love it I could understand 99% of the documentary.
What places?
They want go off and separate themselves from the problems and live independently well then fine, more crime and uncertainty for the rest of us. But no seriously, lets fix the problems instead of calling out people who wan't don't want to deal with them. And most may very well be racist, but even if they are, they still have the right to live in any way they choose.
...ok?
+Cartooniverse South Africa is in such a state at the moment, that people are giving up there careers and going to go work as street sweepers, simply because they think it is a safer and better way of life for them and their children. They didn't separate themselves from the problems, they just proved the problems are not of their making! There is a big difference. Wonder how many robberies, hi-jackings etc occur in Oranje compared to just one intersection in JHB or Pretoria
What is your opinion on how to fix the problem? Being this is a problem in every diverse part of the world how would you fix it? Or do they and most everybody realize a homogenous society is the only one that will work.
Well stated and absolutely correct.@@jlhaxton
Good luck long may you live ..
Is there some reason why an honours degree graduate from university couldn't figure out a way to add English subtitles to this?
It's also disabled to add subtitles. I did an English transcribe.
Maybe because he/she didn't want to?
All the world's people should learn that all countries belong to all the world's people. Once everyone understand that, than we can finally have a peaceful global community with equality and higher standards of life. No more Wars, poverty and corrupted governments, and racism or prejudice against each other.
There's also only one race, the human race.
That's not true Africans belongs to Africa Europeans belong to Europe,as well as Asians.Where there's is Europeans there's is no peace .Europeans are most brutal killers
If you want to reach a wider public, you must put english subtitles.
***** Although my current comment wasn´t pointed about the social situation in South Africa, I support your opinion. But for a non-afrikaans speaker (my mother tongue is spanish by the way) interested in international politics it´s important to have a channel of comunication to the realities uncovered by the mainstream media. We have the same problems that the afrikaner population in my country (Guatemala) were the ladino population slowly has been forced to retreat from the rural areas to the cities. Even worse, by manipulated the educational system, they deceived the youth to adopt an invented identity as "mayas" because the european, canadian and now american left-wing intervensionist goverments are pushing in this cultural warfare. That´s why I am interested in those succesful examples of people trying to preserve their culture.

@@GoodVideos4 Orania wants to reach afrikaners only, so no translation is needed.
@@austrobok2958 Many people around the world are interested in knowing more about Orania, like for ideas, so a translation is needed!
And, Orania does want to be more in contact with the international community.
Dat ziet er deugdelik uit.
Precies zoals ik van Afrikaners verwacht.
Alle voorspoed gewenst uit Amsterdam.
Has this documentary been done in English? Thank you.
No. I did an English transcribe of it.
The only reason the ANC and the rest have a issue with a small town like Orania is the very fact that it will show all the failures as African leaders who've been in power for 25 odd years in Southern Africa . The small little town in the middle of know where which has its own Currency . Health facilities, businesses, water, housing etc. This is a clear image to how a small minority of people can live in a safe and beautiful place without interference from criminal and political vultures who seek to destroy a once so powerful southern African country. Who wouldn't want to live like this. .Everyone bringing there part to make sure the town is great . Awesome keep on . God bless. The cream of Europe in Africa !.
The underlying fact that White people don't know or want to except is that, the reason why the country is going to shit is because white people didn't teach black people. To make an anolgy if you were an experienced f1 driver and you gave the wheel to a learner driver who you didn't bother to teach how to drive, there is almost no way you could drive as good as the former driver
fantastic people Afrikaners making a life .
ek wil daar bly
I pray that a civil war will never break out in South Africa ever, if it does these people and there’s families will suffer terribly and greatly, I pray for there safety.
The threat of annihilation wrapped in fake concern, origin is clear from the abysmal English.. 🤨
According to the Oxford dictionary the word ‘discrimination’ means “recognition & understanding of the difference between 1 thing & another” People make distinctions because they value 1 choice over the other. Freedom does not exist when there is no opportunity to choose between different options.
To ban "discrimination" would mean that people are not allowed to make distinctions as it concerns the nature of a particular discrimination & not the principle itself.
My point is simply that ALL Afrikaners (or any1 else) cannot be grouped together with the Boers as I explained earlier. Neither is the term Boer interchangeable with Afrikaner any less than Scottish is with English & even many Scottish are wanting independence from England. Boers do not have a problem with other like minded peoples supporting their struggle being assimilated & I thought this point was actually what you were asking. Many non Boers support the Boers struggle for self determination
The Afrikaner and the Boer have never got on. The Afrikaners or Cape Dutch sided with the British against the Boer in the Boer war and never fought for their own freedom as the Boers did. The Boers also have relatively few Dutch ancestry. The first oppressors of the Boers were the Dutch
It just burns you up that these people are thriving and the media can’t handle it! Eugene Torre Blanche was correct .
les deseo, lo mejor de una Argentina
All I can say well done to Afrikaners they always find a why. Well done with orania place looks like safe set place to visit in SA
You lot are an Insparation and an example to us all what we can achieve, hopefully we can build other whites only towns around the world, God bless you all.
Ek wil daar bly 🙏🏻❤️
A true example of Nation building...
Mixing cultures has failed, forcing people to live amongst eachother when living different ways of lives will create conflicts. Besides look at the crime rates when Apartheid was gone, these people live segrated so they can live safer and happier lives. Personally I´d think a Afrikaner state wouldn´t be a bad idea for these people.
I wish this was in English or French ; nobody speaks Afrikaans!
It is important for them to speak only Afrikaans. If they spoke English or French, silly white liberals would try to move in and "reform" them. A lack of blacks means they probably have little or no crime, HIV/AIDS, ebola, or other traits that go hand in hand with a black population, and they want to keep it that way. If speaking a language the blacks do not understand helps in that objective, then go for it.
mindspring57 I meant the documentary itself. It's obviously not a comment saying people should switch their native languages
mindspring57 Very well said.
Next time for reference sake you may of worded your
comment with 'I wish they used english/french subtitles', saves a load of agro lol
with the exception of Afrikaaners, duh!
I believe in private land ownership, there land/house there rules, good luck to them it looks like a lovely safe place to live, with the crime rates over there more communities like this would be good, after all there’s many many towns there where whites cannot go so it’s perfectly acceptable. Peace.
The Afrikaner and Boer are not ignorant. They just want independence
Trots op julle mense.

@@anicento914 The same to you
VOLKSTAAT NOW!!!
Baie geluk joanie!dis 'n briljante stuk werk!
I must admit this documentary did make me reassess my preconcieved notions of Orania. Although I will never support the idea of segregation, I do belive in the idea of creating a community in which hard-work, self-sufficiency, safety and strong community ties are prevalent.
It’s not segregation in itself that you should support. It is self determination. It’s about the freedom to choose. If you don’t have the freedom of association you have a forced association. Integration is positive when it’s voluntary. When it’s forced it becomes negative. It’s the same with segregation. It’s not that segregation was bad in itself it’s that Apartheid was forced segregation. This town is growing because people are volunteering to live there. They are going out of their way to live somewhere it is not easy to live (even as a European) and life their life the way they want to. It’s about autonomy.
I hope they build an army to protect themselves
Its just to make distinctions when one’s own interests are served & success IS NOT based on the oppression of others. Racial Discrimination should only be illegitimate when people deliberately disadvantage others based on race which is certainly not the case in Orania however one cannot say the same for the country of South Africa with the ANC and their B.E.E policy as it oppresses white people based on their race. It should be outlawed as it is directed at intentionally harming others (whites)
is there an english version. I no speak afrikaner
I did an English transcribe of it.
How do I become a resident in orania
God seën die Oraniërs 🧡🤍💙
Forgotten history lol I think you need to learn SAs history & how organisations set about deliberately erasing the Boers identity under Afrikaner nationalism. The Boer are a separate nation of people that have a different history to the Afrikaners. You confuse these 2 groups together then ask "in what way do i defend the macro state of South Africa" It is very important to know the history of a region & a people to understand how we got where we are today.
I don't understand Africans but I know the history of the Boers and I really hope they can survive what is happening in SA today . Good luck to you all . I'm a Brit by the way .
Ps ask ramaphossa if you can relocate the Voortrekker monument to Orania
Is Orania a small town in Halland?
No, in South Africa.
