As a Zulu boy I totally understand. In Kzn there are Zulu chiefs who control massive pieces of land and build communities based on their cultural heritage and no one ever complains. Orania should be left alone to strive on their terms which aren't affecting any outsider. ✌️💪
The Ngonyama Trust and ALL tribal land holders should be ashamed of themselves. Give people title deeds so they can invest in their communities. They won’t because tribal leadership wants to control them.

@@RSAGH4Sure "speaks the truth about the architects of Oriana are the same architects of Apartheid." Ok then. They told the truth. Now what, according to you?
As a black South African I’m fully behind the idea of cultural preservation & maintaining community values as long as those values aren’t rooted in hatred & racism.
Problem is, who defines racism? Some would argue the very existence of Orania is racist. Separation of races is the only way to go. Tens of thousands of Africans have landed in Ireland in the last few years and they turned the non-racist Irish into racists by their degenerate behaviour of violence and robberies. The cultures are simply incompatible and I see the races going to war against each other in Ireland as a result, as the government and Police are on the side of the criminal element of immigrants which is a far higher % than the native population. Is what I said racist or hatred in your view? If you say yes, then that's why we need to be kept separate.
I am a so called Coloured in South Africa and say this...Orania asks nothing from anyone....does everything themselves....no crime and lots of our politicians have been there and are impressed so stop with this nonsense and leave them be!!!
No crime? You have not been watching and\ listening. Mr CEO just said thats not true. Saying "leave them be" while they defend Hendrik who oppressed and beat your parents' a55 like kids and murdered many innocents? I bet Hendrik didn't say "leave them be". You one hell of a person, no wonder you coloureds get fooled so easily
The most important thing is they don’t have ‘load shedding’!…they can also get a driving license fast and not the 6 months it usually takes elsewhere. Do you think they get away with bribing police?
I cannot agree with you more, I am a coloured who have to dodge bullets everyday In Cape town, so this type of lifestyle these people live, I find very inspiring, I wish I can live a peaceful life like that, not having to live in fear every day.
Why are people mad at this? It's essentially the same as the Mennonites and Amish in the United States, but with modern technology. Those people in the US are almost entirely white as well, and they just want to live off the grid. No one has a problem with them, so why does anyone have a problem with these people doing the exact same thing? And before someone tries to call me racist I am a person of color myself, I just think there's nothing wrong with getting away from everyone and choosing safety.
@@hyperrat12 It just seems strange to come to South Africa and separate yourself from the natives. If you don’t want to be around black people or people of color, why live on the continent of Africa??
@@bryantclerkley7056Stupid comment. They built the country from near scratch ( Bantus aren’t native to South Africa, if you knew anything about history) and have been pushed out after giving up power and democratizing. Their people are killed at high rates every week, raped, and politicians scream for their genocide. They are seeking their own destiny peacefully. Boers arrived there 400 years ago, they don’t need to leave their own nation. The actual natives of SAfrica are the Khoisan.
I know right? Like when I heard him say “ frozen in time” all I saw is a modern town that had everything modern, definitely because of the rule that town had.
The "whites-only" assertion and title are misleading. It's an Afrikaners-only town. British decendent whites can't live there either. Not French whites, not German whites, none of that. The point is to preserve their culture, not racial segregation.
@@Zdamaneta Eropeans don’t like ech other. Hence the millennium of cnstant fighting. Biggest wars in history trace mostly to Erope, ie, WW1, WW2, Cold War. Fast forward to today: Russia against Ukraine/NATO. Which furthers my point……
I'm black I know it may sound weird to other blacks. But am truly inspired by Orania.When I grew up my mom was working as a Domestic worker in a small town of Ermelo Mpumalanga. So I got used to living in town full of whites infact I was and still fascinated by that. That town was so clean organized and in order , if u can check it now as it is congested by blacks u won't tell dat was the Ermelo of 90s. Then there was Brenthurst in Brakpan Gauteng Orania reminds me of that town in early 2000s I dnt know what is it like now.
Now try saying K K K is controversial because they unsuccessful. Some folk lost their ability to consume and think things through. Instead, give me a keyboard let me type.
@petero7937 not disputing its "successful", whatever that means but to say its controversial because of that, I am not sure. I am for all inclusive. Not for cut a piece of the land and keep to self.
@@azhariarif Indeed it was absolutely dangerous since its only deepens the racial/ethnic segragations that already plagued South Africa, legscies from the Apartheid era.
They believe the medias lies over their own eyes. It’s sad how people allow themselves to be fooled by people they don’t even know. And they’re proud of it.
"Frozen in time", I guess Whites cannot have a community let alone a nation of our own anymore without being socially pressured into believing that it makes us evil.
I imagine two neighbours having a boundary dispute over a fence line (I imagine these are the types of criminal problems they will be having in a growing town) is the type of crimes taking place, maybe bar fights etc, not raping Young women.
I'm a non white South African and I applaud the Afrikaans community for standing together and building a life for themselves without asking government for anything
Because here we have European invaders stealing Afrikan land and claiming it for themselves… do you now understand? Can you imagine the uproar if black Americans did the same thing in America? Or are you a hypocrite? 😊

FYI their whole gov is now black with no whites and that’s exactly what they do - say they fixed the racism, when the reality is they just swapped which side had power
I dont think that's right. Plenty of people would call out a blacks only town as racist. It is by definition...the colour of your skin (white or black) dictates whether you can live here
Using the Ora in the town as a 'coupon' currency is absolutely genius, including the fact that the rand are held to earn interest in the bank and profits used toward the community itself while also making it pointless to hold a robbery at the outlets. It's a great idea I love it.
This may come as a shock...but none of that is new, and used to be used extensively in the territories of the U.S. prior to 1920. Secondarily, while a fine idea for smaller colonies or territories of companies, it cannot expand at an industrial scale at any speed using that system, without a better standardisation and backing by outside trade company territories. Internally they will be quite stable, with the exception of any imports or exports at a larger scale. Not even Fordlandia was fully self-sufficient in any way, any more than any amish or mennonite colony ever was or is. And to reach true corporate autonomy & sovereignty...you have to become at least somewhat bulletproof.
@@TheCaptainSlappy So the reason US abandoned decentralized currency, does not apply there, therefore it is a smart workaround for the situation. You basically just explained his point back to him in a very obnoxious way.
@@Snartfoodler So...me explaining exactly the opposite of you talking out your bumhole knowing nothing of how currency has ever worked much less works, is ironic.
Circulating currency. A coupon system is genius and follows the foundation of currency: trust. Not with coupons but many Jewish communities did similar things. Circulating currency among a small community raises its value inherently. The African Americans did something similar too... However, there was intervention.
From Kenya, I don't think there's a problem having a boers only place or any other ethnicity. The real question is why would you want to force people who want to live in seclusion to live among you if you don't have any sinister intentions.
Exactly in my opinion if they’re not harming anyone and they literally seem like they’re the middle of nowhere off the grid why force them to become a part of wider South Africa when they clearly seem content keeping to themselves
@@BourneIdentity45 I couldn't agree more and I think that should be the standard for freedom. So long as no human rights are violated and consent is agreed upon by the community. After all there are protected groups all over the world and in proper countries they live just fine. Like the Armish and Momorns in the US. Or the uncontacted island tribes
@@sageforce9306 the part that I find interesting is that if you take race and their Afrikaaner ethnicity out of it, how is it that they’re able to create a brand new community off grid like this essentially start over and look like they’re thriving, while most nations with their cities and governments are corrupt and have issues with crime safety homelessness, like in my opinion I’d rather live in a close community like this one than a huge city, and tbh I think as humans we all look for that deep down somewhere, a community of people who share have a common set of ideals and a goal for a future. As someone who has heard the stories of white farmers and other whites in South Africa being killed it makes me understand why a community like this would be made in the first place but from what I’ve seen in the video especially with the girl he was talking to she didn’t seem to think that living there was the be all end all it was more that it was her home and she was raised there but still wanted to see the world for me that told me enough about them not being problematic
@@BourneIdentity45 true. I have to confess that for some rooted reason multiculturalism does not really work apart from a few exceptions. People who have conflicting ideas and world views should for the most part live apart to avoid conflict. African communities love to blame and while some blames bare weight I feel it boils down to lack of accountability on our part as a whole. That's why I like some one like Traore because he has borne responsibility for his people and done what he see's fit to protect them and advance them not thinking about what others think. That's the only way only results will speak of his actions
@@sageforce9306 completely agree I honestly think that multiculturalism was manufactured to bring conflict between communities you can see this with what’s been going on in the UK and other parts of Europe sure these countries aren’t necessarily Christian nor was Christianity created in them but they hold a lot of values that align with Christianity and then in the last few decades there’s been a lot of clashes between Islam and western values and that’s not to say that someone who is Islamic can’t live in the west but most of the time even moderate Muslims tend to have very conservative views even if they don’t think they should be governed by the law. A prime example of this is why Pakistan and India were split into two countries simply because the even though they’re essentially the same people they couldn’t co exist, you can see the same with the balkans with Bosnia Serbia Croatia Kosovo Albania all very similar cultures holding similar values but eventually had to split through wars
@@jrock2019 Right, you know how many Europeans town have been obliterated only to be rebuilt. Kiev was completely devastated by the Mongols, it's still there
I am black but i see nothing wrong with people of same culture wanting to have a place of their own to preserve their cultural identity. Leave them alone!!!they look happy

"No-one is coming to save you" and "create your future" are really messages that all South Africans should take to heart. To many people are waiting for the government to save them, or to simply give them a future, and it's just never going to happen.
@@Dr_Smooches_Goodbaby no need. Loving life in South Africa thanks. This is a beautiful country with beautiful people in it and so much potential. If you want to live with spite and hate in your heart then that's on you, but the message was you can have whatever life you want in South Africa, just its up to you to go and get it. Government is not going to give you anything. Good luck.
If Zulu people would revamp Kwa Maye-Maye and have a similar approach as Orania they'd be labeled as tribalists so i really don't care about what South Africans think about this town,us black people we can't even mobilize our own communities
The biggest irony is that each different ethnicity in Europe has their own country, whereas Africa, as a colonised continent, was split by colonial interests both combining and splitting up ethnic groups. Although it does seem a bit extreme at this point to realise that same future in a country like SA that has so many ethnic groups, it does make you wonder about how much more complicated governance becomes when the political leaders aren't representing the same ethnicity or culture as the whole population when all countries in Europe essentially have that convenience. So in that logic yes, if Afrikaners can do so with Orania, any ethnic group should have the right to self-determination and self governance
The Ngonyama Trust and ALL tribal land holders should be ashamed of themselves. Give people title deeds so they can invest in their communities. They won’t because tribal leadership wants to control them.
Why is everyone obsessed with Orania, it is private property, with people doing their own thing, so leave them alone, if you are not Afrikaans and have no interest in their culture, let them be, they are not doing anyone any harm.
For real they don't do anything wrong. There are plenty of villages that don't let any outsider settle there for various reasons. No one outside of my family can settle in the village of my father in Turkey. You can buy property there but believe me you will never be able to live there no matter which ethnicity you have or the language you speak.

Thank you for this Josh, I have always wanted to know more about this town. This insight is so different from what we have been fed by mainstream media. I really am envious of this town, the values and the peace. Reminds me of when I grew up in a military base in the 90s. We slept with unlocked doors right until I was in high school.
Sinnce you taling about witchcraft. One night long ago in 2013 I Worked at Woolworths warehouse in Montugue Gardens. On this particular day I worked a 15:00 -23:00 shift, 21:00 I took a brake, went to Joe Slovo to buy weed🌳 I decided to stop by a xhosa guy who worked with me but was at home on that day but not present at home l. As I entered his shack he had a turtle 🐢 in there, I saw candles 🕯 and a voodoo doll & some other stuff. Didn't still take note at the time. His friends were waiting outside. I left coz I needed to get back to work. As I'm jogging I notice I'm being followed. Suddenly no oncoming cars from both ends. I Couldn't see his face only his friends which was weird. I was fighting & tussling with 3 guys with knifes. I Looked down for a brick or something then recognized the guy I worked with by his white shoes coz I couldn't see his face . Called on his name screaming why his doing this. Eventually a truck came driving slow, ran hopped on holding on the back doors of the truck until the Robot. Next day I completely forgot his name & he never came back to work. Is that witchcraft or am I tripping. Still think about it this day trying remember his name.

Great journalism, I didn't realise anywhere like this existed, or was allowed to exist, in South Africa. Maybe on our yearly visit to Cape Town from the UK, we could visit this area.. extremely well presented piece of work, well done.
And now they are called racist😪 sad part is, people forget that in their own township, there is no whites, coloureds or even idians. How about the township just outside PE called Motherwell.... if your not black, you in danger. Every one fights about land, but we tend to forget, we didnt create this earth, and when you die, you dont take it with. Everyone claims this country is his land, but its not. It stay behind as you die and your body becomes part of it. You as a human are the property of this land.
As black person, I walk around and pray to God to give black community positive mindset to build our community instead of vandalising, littering and gangsterism, then blame the government that they have abandoned it, mmmh, knowing God can change this negative mindset, to self discipline, developing and keep the surroundings clean, so God help🙏🏾
@@maureenmwenda4229 Black people are divided on a lot of issues: Religion, ethnicity, modernity vs traditionalism, class etc. They would have to find themselves along lines of similar ground - however, this will be tough as blacks are big on extended family affairs. There would be challenges.
As a black person, you didn't have your parents enslaving other people and looting natives' land and minerals. You have no capital - financial, skills, social, - to build the black community you are envisioning
So it's not WHITES only, it's AFRIKAANER only. I'm White, but I wouldn't be able to live there either. This is pretty much the same concept as each black tribe having their own territory/villages, and no one has any issue with THAT, but when Afrikaaners do literally the same thing, it's suddenly seen as a problem.
Whenever white people are doing their own thing by themselves and doing well, they are always attacked for doing it when any other color of people are doing the same thing they are applauded. The world is against white people.
I'm Black and I have nothing against that Orania thing, but I'm curious. If a group of Blacks bought some lands in, let's say Italy, and declare, "this is a Black land, we want to preserve our culture, we don't want no whytes in our village" would the Italian government accept this?
I'm coloured, and honestly i am a little jealous of how peaceful the town is. Also, how the community stand united and being this self sufficient is quite impressive!
One point that wasn’t mentioned is that Orania has been developed entirely on private property. They bought a huge piece of land and developed it for their own use. I don’t see a problem with that. I wouldn’t like to live in such an insular community because I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. We’re all different and that’s okay 😊
@@ScelohMkhize In December 1990, about 40 Afrikaner families bought the dilapidated town of Orania for around R1.5 million from the Department of Water Affairs.

As a white Afrikaner, due to me being a free ranging reborn Chrostian, also I cannot live there, as I don't pursue Johannes Calvyn's ideologies and dogma.
0:01 “frozen in time”, yet the infrastructure, institutions, and overall feel of the town is more advanced, sustainable, and progressive than literally the entire country that it has the burden of being within. Lmao

Not only do I think Orania should remain, I think more communities should do similar things, come together, and work to do things for themselves, and that goes for white, black, Indian and coloured. People are so obsessed with Orania, but I have a feeling it's only because it's relatively successful. If everything there was broken and terrible, nobody would care. There is also (obviously) always an emphasis on the racial aspect. But what makes Orania successful is the social cohesion. Sure, some of that is racial and cultural, but it's more than that. Sharing the same religion, sharing the same goals, agreeing on priorities, similar work ethic, etc. All of these contribute to making Orania what it is today.
Makes me think of the mass immigration into Australia, they say we have a labour shortage, well if after 20+ years of mass immigration we still have a labour shortage I call BS. You can always do your own work.

Yeah that’s what I don’t understand, just leave them alone. They aren’t going out and bothering anyone. The government is failing the people, they can be allowed to build their own community. Politics aside, it’s just their private community. I’m amazed their patience for welcoming people who want to make the same video 100x over of “can you believe this Afrikaner only community???” The leader is even if he is a hardcore racist and hateful etc etc, is very humble. Because every time these people come he sits down and answers the same questions no one has right to ask, he could tell people to buzz off.
I understand. Apartheid created extreme poverty in the natives of Africa and 50 and more so years on you are still affected. This is real. Just because it's uncomfortable to say. Should it be blocked? Truth surely is the way forward and history NOT repeating itself. Seek genuine kindness, Seek genuine peace and respect. REMORSE from what their ancestors have done would be a good start.

They are not hurting anyone Mos, I'm a black person from a black village, are we racist for not having white people there? There are lot of places in this country that economically exclude black people (because we don't afford to be there), so I find it interesting that white people are doing something for themselves by themselves. Nothing wrong with that. Let them live their lives in peace with their own ideals. Just because their opinion might be different doesn't make them racist as long as they don't hurt anyone in their journey. No fault no foul
Mfowethu, I agree. But why don't we all try to copy Orania in our own unique ways? And make our communities, scattered across Mzansi a better place for ourselves? We can do it...power to the people, and not promising politicians. Let's challenge ourselves.
Im not from Africa. But here in New Zealand we have native Maori and Pakeha or white. Some Maori live on their traditional Pa which is a village. We don't complain worry about that. The way i see this community is similar. seams like its more a religious place than a racist place to me. Being a free people gives you options. If the land is owned by people who have conditions on sale/ lease agreements. So what????. Seams you think the same.
They aren’t bothering anyone and they aren’t asking anyone for anything. They are purely trying to live a peaceful life and persevering their Afrikaans culture. Afrikaners are extremely proud and resilient…

I'm from Joburg and at school I was one of about 6 white students in the entire school (I was the only one in my class at every grade), and I still had an amazing childhood. I was basically friends with everyone in my class and I had my group with 5 of my best friends. I actually didn't have any white friends growing up, only until I moved to the UK a couple years ago. I hope that my comment has shown that South Africa doesn't have to be segregated, and I would love if South Africa could become more unified in the future.
I am Lebanese South African. If Lebanese people try live all together in a small community we will just fight and moer each other 😁🫣 I commend these people for holding onto their traditions and culture. And I love all the comments in the comment section to see that South Africans are all so supportive of each other. We truly are a beautiful nation 🫶🙏🇿🇦
Loved the documentary and see no issue peopling wanting to live with like minded individuals It's there choice after all. I don't think it's got anything to fo with race ❤
I am black and I really do understand the first guy you interviewed POV. They have nearly zero crimes and they are happy. They don't seem to bother anyone too so let them be. Racist or not they have created their little heaven.
LISTEN ......ITS CLEAN WATER IS CLEAN. STREETS CLEAN , NO GARBAGE HEAPS EVERYWHERE. NO PREEING IN PUBLIC STREETS. NO STREET SLEEPERS. NO CRIME . PEACEFUL AND SAFE NO SHOUTING AND NOISE. NO TAXI VIOLENCCE AND MUCH, MUCH, MORE PEOPLE GIVING NEGATIVE COMMENT MUST SURELY JUST BE JEALOUS !!
You forgot to add racist, white supremacist and also responsible for apartheid but don't want to help build and help with the problems they created but rather flew and be divided. Nobody is jealous of racists we are disgusted. They should leave South Africa if they don't want to be a part of it.
Hold it buddy they said things like some of the things are partially true like racism and stuck in the past nah nah nah why did they were 2 people who voted for EFF and no one voted for other parties and i think they voted for DA and other white people parties
The word "racist" was made by Lev Bronstein for the purpose of shutting down the discourse of such things. Guess what his background is... Go figure, right?
@CarlvonLinné-z3k no? because if you have a machine that works and you start adding new parts it will start to have problems. And its not racist to want to preserve your culture.

@@DL_Burns I know a thing or two about him. You just recommend stuff without giving a reason. There is a lot of similarities between Orania and Tulsa.

I went to visit Orania in June 2024 to see for myself. I did not find any racism or hate, instead I found the people to be friendly, hardworking and extremely proud and protective of their culture and language. Well done, Orania. I loved my time visiting and will be back.
Are you white, black or coloured? Did you expect to see racism or hate written on their foreheads? Of course they are going on with their lives because they have created a community minus those they truly hate.
One thing I felt like wasn't answered is how the economy of this town works. Where is the money coming from? The residents obviously have a comfortable life. But what are they doing for income? Like the battery that was shown at the end. That is a huge infrastructure spend for a relatively small town. How can they possibly afford that? I feel like I have more questions than answers after watching this.
It is so refreshing to see a documentary that is not trying to push a twisted agenda filled with alterier motives. Well done to the film makers, the world needs more journalistic integrity and you have buckets of it. Wel gedaan ou maat!
Agree. Its more of an Afrikaner culture, Christian Calvinist thing. So if I as a white Afrikaner is for example a non-believer, or has a criminal record, Orania won't allow me in.
this is a stupid comment. People In townships were placed there they didn't choose those Areas have your forgotten what the group areas act was for? Some of you think with your bums I swear
They are tired of genocide and having land stolen, it's a rational defense mechanism. Until corruption ends, tribalism sets protective boundaries that keep their families safe.
I understand their need to preserve their culture. I also respect the fact that they legally obtained that land and didn't infringe on anyone's rights or killed anyone for that land.
It is a settlement like Israelis are creating that is built under a mythology that is only protected by weapons and white supremacy order. This is stealing your historical lands. They came in and legalize their illegal settlements similar to Israel.
So what? They want to preserve their own culture. I don't see anything wrong with it. Why is it everytime a White culture wants to do this, it is looked at as racist, yet if any non-White culture wants to do this... then everyone praises it? Many countries are fighting back against deluding their culture. I don't care what race you are or what religion you do or don't follow. If you flee/move from one country to another, than I believe you should do your best to assimilate. It's possible, in fact easy to preserve your own while assimilating yourself into your new home. If you are stomping your way into your new country while dragging your former country's ways, or insisting that others accept YOUR ways then why leave?
No offence, and this is nothing against the people of this town, but isn't that technically what happened in South Africa? White people aren't native to the region at all and ended up replacing black people in some regions due to colonisation, which by definition was foreigners ruling over natives (extremely simplified, I know). Then, this town was established as what's a white ethnotown (I know that's not a word but it's not a state). Shouldn't they just assimilate with the native black groups instead? I do agree with your 2nd paragraph, by the way. I'm all for better controls on immigration and people assimilating, but at the same time it has to go both ways too. If black people have to assimilate into Europe and not create black-only areas, which isn't happening anyway contrary to what many believe (not saying you do), then white people must also assimilate. This has to go for all groups and I'm not trying to hate on this town but I think many people are missing this. All groups should have to assimilate and white people are suddenly exempt from that.
@@bestrafung2754 The native blacks of South Africa were displaced by different blacks that came from further north before, during, and after apartheid. But no one calls them out on it because "anti-racists" can only see skin color and don't understand the intricacies of ethnicity and culture.

@@gazg00 Zulus are Africans its their biological right to own land in their province, these people do not belong in SA yet they decide who goes in and out in our own land
So if black Africans went to a European country and built a blacks-only town everyone here would be okay with that? That's the sense I'm getting from reading all these comments praising this place
the thing is blacks will never build such a community by themselves. Whites will always be more advanced and wealthier so black people will try to live amongst them. see what is happening with all these refugees who are coming to europe only to exploit our high trust societys.
Afrikaners have been a part of South African history for more than 300 years, heading for 400 today, so no. We are white African - we do not have passports or living relatives in any other countries and our ancestors are the main reason there are even towns in South Africa at all because our ancestors brought Western technology to the country. I think someone born of parents in a country which your family has lived in for something like 20 generations wanting to build a town for your minority people to protect them from violent crime and economic instability is not comparable to random black Africans going to Europe and starting black towns.
@john_snow9435 I think you're missing the point. The black Africans are natives of the land going back much much further. To go and build a settlement within their land and prohibit them from it seems wrong. Just as it would be anywhere else in the world. The land belongs to all citizens of the country, not to a particular ethnicity
@@CleAnthonyThere's many villages in KwaZulu that are exclusively Zulu, villages exclusively Xhosa, exclusively Sotho, etc etc. This is the norm in South Africa and all have the right to do so including White and Asian populations.

I am an indian and whenever i see white majority towns they are very clean, well planned, peaceful, calm and economy is always good like how they do it
Just a different culture, nothing magic. The UK is being turned on its head ATM. Currently there are demonstrations against mass immigration that has done so much social damage.
As a Zulu boy I totally understand.
In Kzn there are Zulu chiefs who control massive pieces of land and build communities based on their cultural heritage and no one ever complains.

Problem is, who defines racism? Some would argue the very existence of Orania is racist. Separation of races is the only way to go. Tens of thousands of Africans have landed in Ireland in the last few years and they turned the non-racist Irish into racists by their degenerate behaviour of violence and robberies. The cultures are simply incompatible and I see the races going to war against each other in Ireland as a result, as the government and Police are on the side of the criminal element of immigrants which is a far higher % than the native population. Is what I said racist or hatred in your view? If you say yes, then that's why we need to be kept separate.
I agree. Its about preserving a language and culture. It is challenging in a country with 11 official languages.
Orania is not a whites-only town. English South Africans don't have a culture so they get confused.
Fully Agree
People are just angry that a successful community can exist without diversity.

Using the Ora in the town as a 'coupon' currency is absolutely genius, including the fact that the rand are held to earn interest in the bank and profits used toward the community itself while also making it pointless to hold a robbery at the outlets. It's a great idea I love it.
This may come as a shock...but none of that is new, and used to be used extensively in the territories of the U.S. prior to 1920. Secondarily, while a fine idea for smaller colonies or territories of companies, it cannot expand at an industrial scale at any speed using that system, without a better standardisation and backing by outside trade company territories. Internally they will be quite stable, with the exception of any imports or exports at a larger scale.

@@sageforce9306 completely agree I honestly think that multiculturalism was manufactured to bring conflict between communities you can see this with what’s been going on in the UK and other parts of Europe sure these countries aren’t necessarily Christian nor was Christianity created in them but they hold a lot of values that align with Christianity and then in the last few decades there’s been a lot of clashes between Islam and western values and that’s not to say that someone who is Islamic can’t live in the west but most of the time even moderate Muslims tend to have very conservative views even if they don’t think they should be governed by the law.

You're ignorant as a black person if you like this
"No-one is coming to save you" and "create your future" are really messages that all South Africans should take to heart. To many people are waiting for the government to save them, or to simply give them a future, and it's just never going to happen.
The government fucked them over so its only fair
It us the toxic mindset in this country. They all think someone owes them everything.
I love this attitude. It is completely opposite of the “victim” mentality that is being pushed by Leftists and race hustlers in America.
So, return to the Netherlands and wallow in your 'culture' to your heart's content.
@@Dr_Smooches_Goodbaby no need. Loving life in South Africa thanks. This is a beautiful country with beautiful people in it and so much potential.

Government is not going to give you anything. Good luck.
If Zulu people would revamp Kwa Maye-Maye and have a similar approach as Orania they'd be labeled as tribalists so i really don't care about what South Africans think about this town,us black people we can't even mobilize our own communities
I think every culture needs a core-town, especially if it's self-built and developed.
The biggest irony is that each different ethnicity in Europe has their own country, whereas Africa, as a colonised continent, was split by colonial interests both combining and splitting up ethnic groups. Although it does seem a bit extreme at this point to realise that same future in a country like SA that has so many ethnic groups, it does make you wonder about how much more complicated governance becomes when the political leaders aren't representing the same ethnicity or culture as the whole population when all countries in Europe essentially have that convenience. So in that logic yes, if Afrikaners can do so with Orania, any ethnic group should have the right to self-determination and self governance
what do you think an informal setlement is ??? and how the self build infrastructure and law doing there
zulu past is in the bush
thank white man for builing a country
The Ngonyama Trust and ALL tribal land holders should be ashamed of themselves. Give people title deeds so they can invest in their communities.
They won’t because tribal leadership wants to control them.
Why is everyone obsessed with Orania, it is private property, with people doing their own thing, so leave them alone, if you are not Afrikaans and have no interest in their culture, let them be, they are not doing anyone any harm.
I agree… and I’m black
For real they don't do anything wrong. There are plenty of villages that don't let any outsider settle there for various reasons. No one outside of my family can settle in the village of my father in Turkey. You can buy property there but believe me you will never be able to live there no matter which ethnicity you have or the language you speak.
No we shouldn’t leave them alone because if blacks tried this in USA or Europe it won’t be allowed. So no.

Sinnce you taling about witchcraft. One night long ago in 2013 I Worked at Woolworths warehouse in Montugue Gardens. On this particular day I worked a 15:00 -23:00 shift, 21:00 I took a brake, went to Joe Slovo to buy weed🌳 I decided to stop by a xhosa guy who worked with me but was at home on that day but not present at home l. As I entered his shack he had a turtle 🐢 in there, I saw candles 🕯 and a voodoo doll & some other stuff. Didn't still take note at the time. His friends were waiting outside. I left coz I needed to get back to work. As I'm jogging I notice I'm being followed. Suddenly no oncoming cars from both ends. I Couldn't see his face only his friends which was weird. I was fighting & tussling with 3 guys with knifes. I Looked down for a brick or something then recognized the guy I worked with by his white shoes coz I couldn't see his face . Called on his name screaming why his doing this. Eventually a truck came driving slow, ran hopped on holding on the back doors of the truck until the Robot. Next day I completely forgot his name & he never came back to work.
Is that witchcraft or am I tripping. Still think about it this day trying remember his name.

Not only do I think Orania should remain, I think more communities should do similar things, come together, and work to do things for themselves, and that goes for white, black, Indian and coloured.
People are so obsessed with Orania, but I have a feeling it's only because it's relatively successful. If everything there was broken and terrible, nobody would care.
There is also (obviously) always an emphasis on the racial aspect. But what makes Orania successful is the social cohesion. Sure, some of that is racial and cultural, but it's more than that. Sharing the same religion, sharing the same goals, agreeing on priorities, similar work ethic, etc. All of these contribute to making Orania what it is today.
How can you people be okay with a whites only town. How does it feel to be excluded for the color of your skin on your own land??? Wow!

I was basically friends with everyone in my class and I had my group with 5 of my best friends. I actually didn't have any white friends growing up, only until I moved to the UK a couple years ago. I hope that my comment has shown that South Africa doesn't have to be segregated, and I would love if South Africa could become more unified in the future.
I am Lebanese South African. If Lebanese people try live all together in a small community we will just fight and moer each other 😁🫣 I commend these people for holding onto their traditions and culture. And I love all the comments in the comment section to see that South Africans are all so supportive of each other. We truly are a beautiful nation 🫶🙏🇿🇦

You forgot to add racist, white supremacist and also responsible for apartheid but don't want to help build and help with the problems they created but rather flew and be divided. Nobody is jealous of racists we are disgusted. They should leave South Africa if they don't want to be a part of it.
Hold it buddy they said things like some of the things are partially true like racism and stuck in the past nah nah nah why did they were 2 people who voted for EFF and no one voted for other parties and i think they voted for DA and other white people parties
Such a beautiful looking community honestly
People are called racist for wanting to live safe and prosper via self determination. .
The word "racist" was made by Lev Bronstein for the purpose of shutting down the discourse of such things. Guess what his background is...
Go figure, right?
Orania is the safest city in SA and the only place where the electricity works 24/7
There’s been over 150 days without loadshedding so I don’t know what you are talking about. Also by what metric is it the safest city?
@CarlvonLinné-z3k no? because if you have a machine that works and you start adding new parts it will start to have problems. And its not racist to want to preserve your culture.

There is a lot of similarities between Orania and Tulsa. However one was destroyed due to sheer hatred and Jealous. As a born and bred African I believed we been lie to about Black Americans.

I went to visit Orania in June 2024 to see for myself. I did not find any racism or hate, instead I found the people to be friendly, hardworking and extremely proud and protective of their culture and language. Well done, Orania. I loved my time visiting and will be back.
Are you white, black or coloured? Did you expect to see racism or hate written on their foreheads? Of course they are going on with their lives because they have created a community minus those they truly hate.
you seem to be white? yes, if you are white and you visit South Africa's whites only town you will not experience racism. use your kop lara
What kind of racism were you expecting?
Of course didn't experience racism you white and it's built for you
Of course you won't find racism there because everyone there looks like them including you...
One thing I felt like wasn't answered is how the economy of this town works. Where is the money coming from? The residents obviously have a comfortable life. But what are they doing for income? Like the battery that was shown at the end. That is a huge infrastructure spend for a relatively small town. How can they possibly afford that?
I feel like I have more questions than answers after watching this.
It is so refreshing to see a documentary that is not trying to push a twisted agenda filled with alterier motives. Well done to the film makers, the world needs more journalistic integrity and you have buckets of it. Wel gedaan ou maat!
Yes, you've told the story without forcing your opinions on others. Well done.
They must leave them alone ,if politicians interfere they will mess it up.
As a coloured south African I don’t think Orania is racist at all, many townships does the same thing and Orania is successful in that
Agree. Its more of an Afrikaner culture, Christian Calvinist thing. So if I as a white Afrikaner is for example a non-believer, or has a criminal record, Orania won't allow me in.
Coloured in SA is different from the USA no?
this is a stupid comment. People
In townships were placed there they didn't choose those
Areas have your forgotten what the group areas act was for? Some of you think with your bums I swear
Can you please name a single Township in South Africa which is like Orania.

They are tired of genocide and having land stolen, it's a rational defense mechanism. Until corruption ends, tribalism sets protective boundaries that keep their families safe.
I understand their need to preserve their culture. I also respect the fact that they legally obtained that land and didn't infringe on anyone's rights or killed anyone for that land.
Actually, it was one of the last large scale forced removals in South Africa.
It is a settlement like Israelis are creating that is built under a mythology that is only protected by weapons and white supremacy order. This is stealing your historical lands. They came in and legalize their illegal settlements similar to Israel.
@@odelialutchman5085 No it was not. There was a court case in 2005 which Orania won.
So what? They want to preserve their own culture. I don't see anything wrong with it. Why is it everytime a White culture wants to do this, it is looked at as racist, yet if any non-White culture wants to do this... then everyone praises it? Many countries are fighting back against deluding their culture.
I don't care what race you are or what religion you do or don't follow. If you flee/move from one country to another, than I believe you should do your best to assimilate. It's possible, in fact easy to preserve your own while assimilating yourself into your new home. If you are stomping your way into your new country while dragging your former country's ways, or insisting that others accept YOUR ways then why leave?
No offence, and this is nothing against the people of this town, but isn't that technically what happened in South Africa? White people aren't native to the region at all and ended up replacing black people in some regions due to colonisation, which by definition was foreigners ruling over natives (extremely simplified, I know). Then, this town was established as what's a white ethnotown (I know that's not a word but it's not a state). Shouldn't they just assimilate with the native black groups instead? I do agree with your 2nd paragraph, by the way. I'm all for better controls on immigration and people assimilating, but at the same time it has to go both ways too. If black people have to assimilate into Europe and not create black-only areas, which isn't happening anyway contrary to what many believe (not saying you do), then white people must also assimilate. This has to go for all groups and I'm not trying to hate on this town but I think many people are missing this. All groups should have to assimilate and white people are suddenly exempt from that.
@@bestrafung2754 The native blacks of South Africa were displaced by different blacks that came from further north before, during, and after apartheid. But no one calls them out on it because "anti-racists" can only see skin color and don't understand the intricacies of ethnicity and culture.
@@Nipah.Auauau I'm very aware of that kind of thing in Africa happening and that never should've happened. Obviously anyone doing that should be called out and I'd say it's related to my point if anything. I'm very aware of ethnicity and culture too.

Its amazing how much has developed in Orania since i left for family matters almost 5 years ago.

Trots !(and i am an irish decendent, they welcomed me with my flaws, and i took what they taught when i left. A part of my life i hold dear as it gave me drive and hope to be better and more neighborly).
The problem is that they make the other black areas look bad . In the black-majority villages, towns and cities is the same results, high crime and a degradation of life
It’s very interesting to se that many Blacks support it and do admire this Community.
They don't, only responses that are supportive of this madness are allowed, otherwise, they are deleted.
Imagine if the USA shipped all its black back to Africa. There’d be no need for prisons
Those are called tokens and house slaves. They worship their own subjugation.
@@Dr_Smooches_Goodbaby what "madness". Does the Ingonyama Trust, which is land for Zulus only, represent a similar narrative?
@@gazg00 Zulus are Africans its their biological right to own land in their province, these people do not belong in SA yet they decide who goes in and out in our own land
So if black Africans went to a European country and built a blacks-only town everyone here would be okay with that? That's the sense I'm getting from reading all these comments praising this place
the thing is blacks will never build such a community by themselves. Whites will always be more advanced and wealthier so black people will try to live amongst them. see what is happening with all these refugees who are coming to europe only to exploit our high trust societys.
Afrikaners have been a part of South African history for more than 300 years, heading for 400 today, so no. We are white African - we do not have passports or living relatives in any other countries and our ancestors are the main reason there are even towns in South Africa at all because our ancestors brought Western technology to the country. I think someone born of parents in a country which your family has lived in for something like 20 generations wanting to build a town for your minority people to protect them from violent crime and economic instability is not comparable to random black Africans going to Europe and starting black towns.
@john_snow9435 I think you're missing the point. The black Africans are natives of the land going back much much further. To go and build a settlement within their land and prohibit them from it seems wrong. Just as it would be anywhere else in the world. The land belongs to all citizens of the country, not to a particular ethnicity
That basically has happened throughout capital cities in Europe, London especially
@@CleAnthonyThere's many villages in KwaZulu that are exclusively Zulu, villages exclusively Xhosa, exclusively Sotho, etc etc. This is the norm in South Africa and all have the right to do so including White and Asian populations. Don't forget, Khoi people were the first people, not Bantu. And Zulu warriors stole several territories from the Sotho prior
I am an indian and whenever i see white majority towns they are very clean, well planned, peaceful, calm and economy is always good like how they do it
Plenty of rubbish white towns around the world. I'm black, and I wouldn't go to some white areas in UK because they are slums and unsafe
