My friend & I went to Orania. I was so very impressed. I do understand that they strive to keep the Afrikaner culture. Volkspele, Voortrekkers, the Afrikaans language. The schools - wow. Everyone works, they are friendly, have a hospital, CLEAN!!! Sweeping streets is a job, garbage collection is a job. All are proud of what they do. It is ❤
Everybody have a culture.
I will never life in Orania, even if I wanted I am sure they will not want me. But I did the second best thing. I went there as a tourist and spend a few Rands there. Great river club with a stunning restaurant almost in the water. Great food and great service. Maybe more Afrikaners must make this small sacrifice. I also went to Lake Sibayi in Natal a few years ago. This area is exclusively black. White or brown people can not own land here. There was no farms or industry. These people are ruled by a king, which gets his massive income from our government. Meaning the tax-payers of South Africa pay for his upkeep, along with about eleven other "kings". No white person complains about this arrangement. The people of Orania pays normal taxes to the South African government.
I'm not Afrikaans or Christian so wouldn't qualify to live in Orania...however I have spent a short holiday there and was so impressed with it's ethos. It is a pocket of excellence which can be replicated in any community.
We need many more pockets of excellence - that much is clear as day!
I totally agree
Thank you Thomas for trying so hard to open our eyes as black people to see the truth really we can learn too much from orania.
Imagine every place in SA governed by its own people. Every place clean, all its people working. What a wonderful country SA will be.
You are a lone voice crying in the wilderness. I hope you are heard! We need more people like you... open-minded.
I fully agree, we blacks must stop talking about racism and start telling our political leaders that they are the ones killing their own PEOPLE, yet we vote them in power. This journalist was totally out of context. Can't she listen and hear what Mckenzy is saying. I salute Orania and the entire community. Well done guys.
Well said my African brother from your Coloured African brother,that's what I called,THE MANDELA WAY,RAINBOW NATION❤
I don't get it that there isn't the racism problem to talk about. Just as there is corruption, mainly on the part of the ruling elites which we must not sweep under the proverbial carpet, racism also, still plaques us as a country. Take for instance the economy, one race and gender mainly, are the ones calling the shots, 30 years since the demise of apartheid rule..
I dislike black politicians, but We have great black journalists, tv presenters and actors. These presenters are presentable, smart and likeable. Unlike our politicians that look old, drunk and stupid. Can we rather vote these presenters in as politicians?
I am black and have long stopped voting for the ANC. What do you mean I can't change as a black person? Isn't this racism to to lump people together by race and assume they can't change?
The first change that is sorely needed is to get rid of neo-colonist vestiges which are still in place by way of utilizing black puppet rulers throughout the continent. This is happening already in West Africa where colonial and thieving France is getting booted out. One can only hope that this is just the beginning of greater changes across the continent.... Like here in South Africa, apartheid corruption was replaced by black elite corruption which is one and the same thing because they both trample upon human rights and development which are badly needed to bring about the desired changes in the country that you are talking about.. If you really want to see change in Africa, work towards removing Western racism towards the continent together with the stealing of resources by corrupt Westerners.
My man, you are the best, wish a lot of us black people think like you. Most of us are so hung up on racism, tribalism etc.
I think it's fine to have a tribe, liking your tribe, or wanting to mostly deal with your tribe, but all tribes need to have hubs and strive for excellence. Besides, trades between peoples and tribes will always happen.
Good luck. Go push for excellence!
Pls do not corrupt this place
Hate afrikaans comes from the British remember who the Bierce beat the brirish now u hate us
Thanks for this video Thomas, I live in the Bronx, NYC, went to school at the Univ of Natal, Pietermaritzburg 4 years before independence (I am black African).
It is important to understand that the success set of Orania can easily be created everywhere, including the townships of SA.
But the key is that before we can pull our people out of the ghetto, we need to pull the the ghetto out of our minds.
Case in point, a fellow black man at a local store threw a piece of garbage outside on the floor.
I asked him why he would do that when there was a garbage bin right next to us.
He proceeded to shout at me, using very harsh words, instead of just placing the trash in the bin, which would have been less stressful for both of us.
Every morning on that street there is massive amounts of garbage. The politicians in SA are still prisoners of apartheid in their minds, and thus do not understand that being free means taking off the mental chains, not just the physical ones.
Well said!!👌 Just when the ANC came into power and allowed the influx of foreigners I was at Cape Town Post Office when one of them threw papers on the floor 🙄 I looked at him and said " Is this how you lived in your Country? Here we don't litter" he just ignored me and walked off. That untidiness really rubbed off on our people because they are doing the same today.
Yesterday I walked through the Railway station to get to the mall and it was filthy even the grass has grown so high . It's no longer a pleasure to go anywhere with filth laying all around. I do not blame the Municipality alone but people have no regard for cleanliness.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I fully agree blacks must learn from orania
@@sifisokaula1870 South Africa can become like Orania, but with the vision of Mandela. The Rainbow Nation... The problem with SA is from the top down. Orania's leadership has it as it is... The people must comply or they are shunned and banned.
Black people can definitely learn from Orania, and if I am not mistaken Orania at the moment are helping black communities. People must realize you cannot keep on depending on the government all the time, and even more so when the government is not willing to help you or they are just incompetent. Orania is developing rapidly and it will become a city in the future.
Exactly.
Discriminatory Orania
@@hlenganihobyani4864yes we discriminate in cases where discrimination is necassary and the case of Orania it is necassary.
Please dont insult Africans, what is there to learn about. Leave happily in your racist little town and domt stair things
Helping the BLK people by leaving SA.
Why would black people want to live in Orania, start your own, its a cultural thing. Rasism makes people blind to the truth. Its a choice to learn from others. Ive learned many things from the ANC, like how NOT to do things. Thanks ANC, much appreciated❤
Throughout post colonial Africa there is little respect given to the white settlers and what they brought to Africa. They brought technical skills, education, farming development, and maintenance. This created opportunities for work and economic well-being. They built something from nothing. Instead they have been pilloried as colonizers, stealers of land, and white economy capitalists. In the meantime all we have seen from the inheritors of post apartheid South Africa has been a continual decline in everything that was handed over to them. South Africa has lost the benefit of having immeasurable human capital because of the stupidity in not using a useful resource. Instead of demonstrating, looting, stealing and burning its time some of these people got out into the countryside and planted potatoes.
So true. They made their mistakes, too, though. Those mistakes we can learn from and should have improved by building on to what was existing. Sadly, we didn't
And people also forget about all the thousands and thousands of white people who voted for the anti-apartheid party, the PFP (now called the DA), and all the white people who were jailed, executed, and assassinated by the Apartheid government for fighting against apartheid... Now white people are blamed for all the problems and threatened with genocide 😒 the amount of times I've been mistreated with racism is too many to count, the amount of times I've been racist is 0. This isn't right. Many people in this country have become like the Apartheid government itself, the very government they hate... They have become what they hate. Hypocrisy
Great post!! I am a south African living in the USA (I miss SA!!). The world can learn from ORANIA. On TV things look perfect around the world. I can tell you now as a world traveler it is NOT. But one group of people always wants to drag in race - honestly who gives a crap if you are white, black, pink... just be a respectful human. We should all work together to make life better but corruption, bad education and the lack of family involvement kills what could be. ORANIA is an example of what life can be, but it takes work, honesty, community and family.
If you were to unpack this corruption your talking about here in South Africa especially
Who would you discover is the puppet and who is the puppet master? Who do you think is really pulling the strings?
Orania is not easy to get into even as a white afrikaner. They have high standards. Its not just about culture but values and morals too.
@@lindafouriehoniball3150 zap it in the Zibby
The 360 Experience...you gained yourself a subscriber. BLACK PEOPLE CAN LEARN A LOT FROM THIS MAN.
Thank you for your honesty as a black man.
No crime, no corruption
Yes, because they are guided by not just rules. Japan is a good example to a certain degree
soon no loadshedding .As a black south african , I am inspired !!!.
When one looks at Orania as whole picture, its clear to see its an investment of oneself into a secure lifestyle.
Cut all racism and politics out of the equation.
You want security, you want to feel your contribution you make first as a person is commiting to the values that make it a working model.
Its plain to see that in all ways, everything works...
There is no free ride if you are not committing or a fence sitter.
They are a true model of what the entire world would like to be...
It comes with committing yourself to these values of wanting a healthy lifestyle for yourself and your family..
If this is what is defined as Afrikaans culture, then so be it..
Its healthy and prosperous...
Its what we all as human beings strive for without obstacles.
Well done to the community of Orania...I salute you all...
I agree with him as some1 who stay in a Black township in all her life in cape town orania is very safe place to live compare to the most places in south Africa
Exactly and you can adopt the same mindset as them and make your own town great.
I agree., if you want something in life, lift your ass and work for it.That’s what happens there.
They asked no one for handouts and now people cry foul.
The "Afrikaner" culture is built on hard work, rule of law, belief in God and having a moral compass. We all can take a leaf out of their book. We have the Afrikaners to thank for all that we have in South Africa today. Please tell me what the ANC has built? Orania is a blueprint for all of us.
Very true and in the USA you have similar cultures like that of the Amish. They do their own thing and no one plays the racist card.
@@gideondejongh838The Amish never legislated racial segregation to ensure that the indigenous peoples never became a threat to white economic domination.
Zero cANCer built
When the ANC wants a school, they burn a train. When they want a bus, they burn down a hospital. ANC doesn't understand the intricacies of building.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Namibian..here. Orania seem to have a great model for ANY community have government in the community. People doing things for themselves black and white and not rely on or wait for government.. Like back in the day in the US LESS Government not more. NO other race/community will look after you community you need to do it for yourselves! Very hopeful video! Thank you! Any community can learn from their model. Black and White need to take a step towards each other like he said and talk so things can get better for everyone, Its Time!
Simple principle. If you envy what other people have, dont be angry with them, learn from them.
Nice to see your fresh view man. I'm Afrikaans and the good elements I've learned from my culture is that it takes technical skills to build community. The Afrikaans people came here to break away from European rule, so becoming self sufficienct and self governance was required - building our own communities are in our roots.
It takes a lot of hard work and pride.
We also recognized the value of education. Become highly educated so that you can serve your community, build businesses and provide a service to your fellow man.
The Zulu's have their kingdom with their own cultural values and believes, why can't Afrikaans people have their own way of doing things? (it's clearly working and they are not doing harm to others)
Lekker video my bra 🤙
Nkosi Bhuti
I so agree with you about the racism. My personal view about Orania is that they should be allowed to do what they want to and live how they want to. Is it racist or is it what a democracy is? Are we a free country or not? What would the reaction be in Soweto or Thembisa or Alex to white people moving in? Would black people be comfortable with that? I don't think they would be. Let's be honest. I live in a mixed race community and we're all fine together. There's respect, friendliness and good manners. However, we don't socialise across the colour line. 😮
People migrate towards their own kind where they feel comfortable because they understand each other. Let them be. Let things be. Heavens, when did we become so judgemental? Live your life and let others live theirs.
Thomas Mabaso, I salute you for your honesty and telling the truth as it is. Your view of racism is spot on. I wish we could irradicate the word racism and live in peace and harmony.
forget Race is a natural way of lyk
If I go to tembisa while I am white..what will happen?
From what I have watched, when the founder’s of Orania wanted to do what they did, the authorities gave them permission to do so, provided they understood they were not allowed to use any municipal services. They built the town on their own, without any assistance from Government. It’s theirs. So let’s say they are forced to take in anyone, be they English speaking, (whites,coloureds, Indians) or Zulu, Xhosa,etc are those people going to abide by their laws and traditions? Those who complain about Orania should also build their own town without Govt assistance, a town that is clean, litter free, productive and has very little crime. Good for them.
Yes, all South Africans should learn from Orania. We should also learn from others
Orania had their path laid out even before they bought the land and the fruit of their labour is there for all to see.
We can't learn from apartheid racist
Technical college going in this country again. Having those skills will give people self respect and a JOB. Thomas thankyou for what you are
doing. Stay safe
The 360 Experience...you gained yourself a subscriber...I hope your channel grows and you are an example of somebody who is grabbing opportunities and you will get to the top, my son.
I don't think anybody realizes that Orania was developed for the Afrikaner that wanted to save their culture.
If a person White, Black, Colored wants to live in Orania then they need to abide by the cultural rules.
I know a lot of white families that was told "sorry but you are not a candidate for our town".
It's cultural not racial.
Exactly, I doubt that they would want me, or that I would fit in, but I really REALLY do want to go visit there next year and stay for 3 days or so.
Besides, I could only probably consider making a living there if the town reaches closer to 10 000 people, which is still many years away.
Culture to the Afrikaner is what is keeping them going.
The same for other race, there vultures keeps them going.
Why all the hostilities towards a group who just want to live and bother no one else, I don't understand myself. And as far as I am concerned they do have the right according to the constitution of this country to associate with whom ever they want, or dont want. Why does other races continuously want to be where every other Afrikaner is? It is not inclusive or uplifting or building a nation as part of inclusiveness, if other races continously FORCE themselves upon or into another race, space, culture, shops, way of living. At best all those forcing it, is going against their own constitution.
The old Apartheid era also did not force themselves into or unto other races or the cultures of other races.
So others would like to continously break the law of a constitutional right, but low and behold if a white person is keeping exactly to that specific law, the right to associate with whomever or whatever they wish to associate with. Seriously?
I think people should start reading their own constitutions in the right way, instead of spu-ing alot of nonsense, giving false witnessing, lying and continously putting the white race down foe following this country's LEGAL RIGHTS.
Some are way out of line, where that right are, concerned and actually if Orania was that childish, like some are, they could have taken every single person to court already and would have made much more money, for going against yet another constitution right of everyone living in South Africa.
I salute Orania, allthough I am no fan of Afrikaners, but a fan of South Africans, not African. I do not do whatever Africans are doing being part and parcel of 70+ murders per day, and counting. Hard core facts don't lie!
Thank you for an informative video.
If it weren’t for politicians we would not have racism. By FAR most people in South Africa want to live and prosper together in piece
Yes if it was not for racist white settlers who manufactured apartheid there wouldn't be racism. And yes some people want peace.
They keep us devided !
Well Done Guys Everybody In Our Country Should Watch This
Powerful message my brother.
Outstanding WAKE UP SA. WE CAN ALL DO THIS IF WE WORK TOGETHER! WELL DONE ORANIA
As far as i know, orania is currently off the grid. And they are helping alot of black comunitys.
That the spirit, we can all learn and teach each other. Let's strive for what is needed and works for all of us. Goodwill to all.
Unfortunately, we will never learn from Orania. We simply fail to keep our townships clean and very quickly point the blame to someone.
Exactly.
Just like every other African country. Shame on us. We need to take responsibility and be accountable.
@@beatamafulu2405 Exactly.
I hear in Rwanda they have days where you have to sweep the street in front of your house by law. Maybe it could be a good start... "5 o'clock Fridays" or whatever one wants to call it. If enough people around where you live can start, it will catch on.
@@schalkvandermerwe3838❤
That is the truth, I am South African in Germany , I saw how the hospitals and streets in Johannesburg so dirty like is not the city is a pity be blessed my brother sometimes I am shaming myself about my country although I ❤❤❤❤❤ it so much🙏🙏🙏🙏
Is because of diversity that was not planned. Too many people live side by side but have conflicting and contradictory interests yet they wanna call themselves a community
Welllllllll Done to Mr Mckenzie who wants to learn from them to make South Africa Great and a better place to live for our family's and Children. Where there is unity everything is going well.
Orania is exclusively built for Afrikaners - get that clear! We don’t despise other groups,we simply prefer our own, like any other family,tribe and nation on earth does.
We treasure our Christian faith and calling,history( struggle),culture, language,morals,standards and neighbourhood.
We don’t tolerate corruption,crime,laziness,drugs,pollution or loitering. We spend no money on security systems, don’t know what fences,beams,security systems and reaction units are.
We live,work,worship,relax and sleep without fear.
Here we recycle,cleanup after ourselves,tend our gardens,wash our cars,tar our roads and fix our potholes ourselves. We teach our children that no task is too menial as to leave it to servants.
That, my friends, is what we call FREEDOM, the right to associate to your own choice,as granted and described in the SA constitution.
Respect for people and their property,not entitlement,working for your own keep and no crime,wish I could live there
Me too.....I think they will allow me to live there though seeing I'm half Afrikaaner😁😀
@@thelastdays-k1p no, they want full Afrikaans and Christian values... Most white people in South Africa won't qualify.
Now listen carefully!it's
DISCIPLINE 😊❤
Firstly I agree with you.Secondly this people of Oranja have a constitutional right to decide with who they want to stay, socialize, who must work in their town,what their currency must be.and how to protect them self from crime
I was born in 1968.Almost zero crime.Children slept in tents in the gardens of there homes with friends.The front doors of the houses were never locked. Cars were left with keys inside Cities were clean,window shopping was a regular activity in nighttime in towns.Then came the new SA.
The blacks took over
Corruption ,crime, filthy cities, no rules in black schools, blacks move there children to white schools for better education. People must hire security companies, Just one black mess with no law and order
Now leave this people alone, they want to be in a world before everything was fucked up.
Even though I am an Afrikaans person, I can still learn from the people of Orania! God bless Orania!
We are living amongst all races here in South Africa with so much hatred...racism...bloodshed...even blacks killing each other. At least during Apartheid these things did not happen most probably because we were segregated. Orania's people live at peace with one another and they are all well taken care of ..the young people have jobs.
Gayton I salute you brother in broadcasting this truth. ..We need to start talking to each other in order to build a new south Africa. O ce start to respect each other's view..thats already a positive step... One of the 1st principles in life doesn't matter whete you go in the world is
We can agree to disagree.
It's OK.
And you are so right why is the question always: .I wish Julius Malema will acknowledge this TV discussion...keep on wirh your Pod cast..let's start to engage each other without fear or favour.
Love and Light to you...
I'll be following you....
I agree with you Mabaso, I think the focus on racism demonstrates a political illiteracy among a lot of our people. We need to have enough critical thinking to know that just because someone is black it doesn't automatically mean your interests are aligned. But I'm also not blind to the reality of Afrikaaner nationalism which still exists in this country and finds expression in places like Orania.
While I recognize this reality, I don't have an issue with it, I don't need all people in the world to love, respect and accept me, that's neither here nor there. I don't need the Oranians to accept me for me to be confident in my own humanity. Like I said, racist attitudes are neither here nor there for me.
I'm concerned about real things. My political positions are based on securing my interests, and of course race plays a part in that but it is not prime, my interests are. So if learning from Orania can advance my interests then I am willing to do it. I'm not governed by emotions.
I actually have a self-determination model I want to start implementing in African villages across the country, starting with where I come from. I think we need to localise everything and communities must be in charge of their own development. Depending on politicians who care nothing for us is not sound. It's a clear demonstration of that political illiteracy I was talking about. If you love yourself you will do good to yourself and those around you. I think this is a fundamental principle for building a self-sustaining community.
There's a lot to learn from Orania, we just need to switch off our emotions for a second and turn on the logical part of our brains lol
Don't talk about what you want to do-----do it.
It's not about just waking up and doing, some of us have to take time to plan such things because we don't have resources flowing through our nose and we don't have the luxury of failure either
No one mention that there are no crime in Orania. There are no potholes. They have no loadshedding or water restrictions.
There are incidents of crime but I get your point. Like any community there are always few challenges
I just visit ORANIA for a stay over going to Eastern Cape and people are so friendly with all there things standing outside the houses with no stealing and all Whites are working very hard with a clean town
Thomas, I like your topics. You are starting constructive conversations to improve the life for all. A true better life for all! Keep up the good work.
Sir, you are so right - promoting racism seems to be the aim of many!!!
My friend I feel your pain. Bless your efforts. It starts by learning that we have to learn.
I've come back to add something. Orania probably succeeds less of what they do than what they don't. I'll bet the shops are closed on Sundays. Also the bars if they have them. No lawns mowed on Sunday and you go to church twice. No hookers on the streets and no strip joints. I think you get my drift. A lot of people can't handle such deprivations. White black rich or poor. We'd rather live in shyte.
Stop fighting for, and start working for....
I'm white. And even for me to get in Orania, I'll have to go through a serious screening. Orania is crime free.
HI EVERYBODY , YUSUF OMAR SAYS , MY BROTHER , KEEP UP WITH YOUR WORK , TEACH JUJU AND HIS CAHOOTS , THE ANC AND ALL OTHER PARTIES , WE ALL NEED TO LEARN THAT HARD WORK , IS THE CORE TO SUCCESS
We need to look and learn. Rule no 1. Kick politicians out of local government and we as community must govern ourselves at local government
We are currently too devided. That can work faster in a village not township. Remember in township we dont have the same culture and goals. How are we going to force people to abide by new rules? Not gonna be easy it may lead to physical war
Great commentary Thomas..You will be famous!
Thank you for this video Thomas. Thank you for your insight in this problematic topic. Orania has nothing to do with apartheid. It's all about self‐determination. Black people are feeling inferior when they see a White person going forward. Apartheid is something of the past and the Whites are still going forward without the help of the useless State of SA. One thing that we stand for has nothing to do with thinking I am White and better than you...! No, we strive to be humble and know where our strength and help comes from. We are believers in God almighty through His Son, Jesus Christ and we believe we are led by the Holy Spirit of God. We believe in our culture and our language. This is a winning combination for self-determination. We want to preserve this for our children. This does not interfere with other people or races. Why does Lesufi change into a monster to destroy the Afrikaner and the Afrikaans schools, just because of the past. He and the rest of the looters in the government know that we are better equipped through our knowledge of self-determination and the strive to be on our own without interfering with other cultures and traditions. Leave us to live and leave us to believe in what we want to believe. We know what is the best for us. It is our choice. Why are we as White people a thread for black people of the government? Because we have our faith and our culture and we are not afraid of a man. We do not steal, kill and destroy. I wish more interaction can be done about the life of a white person his needs versus the Black person. God bless you richly.
Wow! Praise the Lord🙏 truly words of wisdom. People desperately need the Lord but instead follow satan
Normally I find it hard to describe a person as racist but the way you express your views, you come across as being of a racist mentality... By the way, there is nothing wrong with expressing one's opinions but if its all about putting others down because they are black while elevating oneself, this doesn't help in the long run. As a black person I don't feel inferior and I hate it when others like you speak for me... I must say this country can do far more better without people like you.
This was so insightful, however I agree people must learn from Orange and STOP playing the raisest game
Good commentary to this video, thanks for uploading. Gayton is talking objectively, the woman is trying to bate him into a 'racist' discussion. Orania is also learning from self sufficient black communities.
Yes i agree with you.
We can all learn from each other, no matter the "race. We must look at the person and not the colour. Every person has something to teach us. I fully agree with you..... stop the racists cop out.... put your fellow man first and learn from each other. We all serve one God who does not see colour.
I support your impartial assessment
You have gained my respect!
I so much agree with you. If everyone looked at how to be more proud of the country, how to do better, how to be better. Less self pride, less hatred, etc. racism would disappear.
My friend , I agree with your statement , "why is it almost always about racism?"
Well said Thomas and observed. You an intelligent and articulate man
Give these guys a bolls.. well done... McKenzie... I admire your craving for knowledge and determination to look for solutions. Sadly, the losing argument for the state of this country ending up so messed up, is so embarrassing to the government, they use the same outdated lame excuse, to blame it on apartheid and racism. What saddens me more, is the highly educated persons, knowing the gov is a failure, still support them. One has to ask, is their rewards so great, that they willing to sell their souls to a losing cause... 👍🏻thumbs up to you guys airing this RUclips episode..👌
Much respect Mr Mabaso. You’ve gained another subscriber. Thank you for your unbiased & non-racist coverage of important news and facts. I wish main stream media would learn from your channel🙌👏🏻
The problem of us as a black communities we waiting for grants from so called ANC government. That is killing us further, it taught us laziness. All we want is free things. Cash in transit is vast because we want things that are easy to get. Wake up black people. It’s a mess. Education curriculum sucks!!! Dependency to government is bad. We wait for free houses, then we complain needing free food through grants of R350. What a joke !!!!
I don't qualify to live there as I'm not religious, but what we can learn from them is self sufficiency. Dependency is what is killing S.A.
Boet,you are so right.White people are not racsit.Thank you for your true words.
Great 👍🏾 insightful perspective of self introspection of us as a majority community. The basics are not being done, at all😭😕😔, where is the chief leadership of community and his advisors then the community centre for discourse. We have lost our way and going forward we need to implement our old trusted ways ☝🏾🙏🏾🤲🏾
Leave them alone they are happy they are safe they don't bother you there is no stealing no corruption there life goes on in a good way you go orainia
I admire you sir at least you so honest
Hard truths my brother. But you talking facts.
Thomas you are on the right path, God bless.
Orania is not unique! It's merely Community Building. It can be based on anything - culture, sports, language, hobbies, religion, music education, profession, ... whether it is a fishing village, a mining village, a farming community, etc... And any two like-minded persons is enough to start a community. Why can't some young African boys make some arrangements with the older land-owners and cultivate some exotic foods that can be delivered directly to the hotels, etc... Or, just start some serious Football or Athletics clubs, or make good music, or just start some little industries ... for the community, first of all. How about just making hot bread? Or just providing Community Security? We need a leader, a good idea, collaboration and dedication to succeed - a co-ordinated group effort. All over SA. ❤
You are one person I must respect as I share the same view... There is nothing special about Orania beside a group of like-minded persons coming together to create what works for them instead of stealing from each other...
There is a certain township in western cape where the black people have erected squatters on a football field. I was actually baffled and flabbergasted by such actions. The behaviour of the young people there leaves a lot to be desired. Most of the young people there are always drunk and high on drugs. It's actually heartbreaking and painful to note.
You are so on point
You earned a zimbabwean subscriber
It is not difficult to understand...it is private property which is why the courts can do nothing about it...and the beauty is anybody can do this for themselves if they own private property...so the bottom line is PRIVATE Property...use it or lose it...the owners of Orania decided to use it for the benefit of the people of their choice.
Afrikaans was developed from a street language to a language that you can do a doctorate in any field wich would be acknowledged all over the world. What other language in South Africa has achieved this? Wake up!
Riddle me this. There are Xhosa only, Zulu only and Sotho only rural villages all over the country, but no one bats an eyelid. But if Afrikaners want to live among people of their own culture, it's "racist".
And seriously, you dont know what geloftedag is? How can you call yourself a journalist and be so ignorant of the coumtry you live in?
Totally agree, and this is never brought up in these discussions. Same with the sport, insisting on having black people in rugby, but look at the soccer teams, all black.
I have to thank youtube for suggesting your channel to me. Good work
Hi Thomas I agree with everything that you have said my brother, I have personal experience of what you have said regarding going into the township, learners behaviour, teachers attitude and on many occasions tears come into my eyes, because of how things have gone so horribly wrong under the present ruling party, I voted for change but not this kind of change where they destroy their own people. Thomas I like your program because you tell it as it is and it is always good to know we’re you stand with the person you are conversing with, never forget if a politician does not lie he or she will have nothing to say believe me I have worked with them for 30 years. Keep the good work up brother😊 cheers
Thomas, remember that the guys of Orania will actually give you their plan of development for free. Go for it!
New sub here. You a good man.
I love this dude!
I understand that Oriana the system it's good place and from us we need to take responsibility and to do what's right for us
Thank you for this refreshing podcast! I fully agree with you: For too long have we, as South Africans, allowed politicians to play the (racist) race-card. The enemy within are those who sow animosity and mistrust amongst ourselves - the people.
Gayton. Love your channel. I wish every South African could think like you. You are an inspiration to many.
Wouldn't a crime free, corruption free country be great were we can all live in harmony. Time for change in this country. !!!
Well done Gayton McKenzie. Thanks for this 😊
Love your show. Keep up the good work. Orania minds their business we should do the same
Politicians is the Problem
Mr Mackenzie is a very wise man,, he went to learn, there is nothing wrong with him visiting Orania, I mean who don't wanna find themselves in a place with order like this,
My brother.
I think Africans need racial maturity. Working side by side the South Africans can develop the whole of Africa.
They can underwriter , finance and construct all the projects being done by the Chinese.
Its sad that the leadership of that great nation are small minded and fixated on dividing the cake instead of creating a massively bigger one
You talk the truth
It's well known that Orania is and is willing to teach black people how its done.
They had over 40years of NP rule to learn how to make it work...
.... and we on 30 years after the fact....wow....
I still believe in the teach a man to fish and he can catch his/her own fish. Why has no one asked Orania to teach them? I know why because they don't want to admit they don't know how. The Afrikaans saying "N Boer maak n plan" rings true every time people whine about Orania.
@@gideondejongh838 MacKenzi made a plan and found information out. People these days wait for money, why do they still want to even think to make a plan......That is what happends when you spoil....
😂😂😂😂😂
I agree with you, I hope the entire SA can unite like those living in Orania
Wow that's an achievement
Our cities are also dumps!!!
It's terrible,horrible
Thomas thank you for a great program.you are a wise man.
I think is very important to learn from anyone that can make South Africa n better place. Where people can have jobs and provide for there family and teach their children a specialy to stay of the streets and do something usefully with their lives.
Gayton that's how Jhb was. Very clean. No litter. Jhb streets had no litter.
