'An indictment of South Africa': whites-only town Orania is booming
The Guardian ^ | 10/24/19

Posted on 11/03/2019 6:08:47 AM PST by Altura Ct.

Twenty-five years after apartheid, black people cannot live and work in this small South African city

October in Orania can be charming. When the sun sets, long ribbons of burnt orange settle on the horizon. The flies and mosquitoes that come with the summer’s oppressive heat haven’t arrived yet. It is Magdalene Kleynhans’ favourite time of year. “You can sit outside until late into the night,” says the businesswoman, whose family spends much of their time outdoors. Her children fish from the banks of the Orange River whenever they choose. Kleynhans leaves the house unlocked. “It’s a good life. It’s a big privilege.”

But there is much more to this small Northern Cape town than the bucolic ideal painted by Kleynhans. Incredibly, 25 years after the fall of apartheid, Orania is a place for white people only.

Orania represents downright hostility to the idea of a single, united, non-racial country Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, author

Kleynhans runs one of Orania’s biggest enterprises: a call centre whose business is recruiting and retaining members for Solidariteit, a trade union primarily for Afrikaner workers, and Afriforum, a self-styled “civil rights” movement. Afriforum recently met with US president Donald Trump’s administration and Tucker Carlson of Fox Nows to tell them that Afrikaners are facing a widely discredited genocide. Both have made extensive investments in Orania’s construction boom. Oranians claim the town is a cultural project, not a racial one. Only Afrikaners are allowed to live and work there to preserve Afrikaner culture, the argument goes.

Is it really “whites only” or do they have servants?

White people are not allowed to have one square mile where they can live in peace and prosperity.

"I swear, white people could make a town in the middle of a desert, and everyone would have a screaming fit about it."

True that.

Example Sun City in , South Africa. Was an entertainment city like Los Vegas where blacks and co mingled outside of Apartheid. Not good enough liberal Hollywood boycotted it, as in "Sun City Artists United Against Apartheid"("Not gonna play Sun City")

“A prosperous minority surrounded by a poor and angry majority...that never works out well in the long run.”

The reverse doesn’t work too well either. Look at us.

The answer to racial strife is separation. Let each race control their own destiny.

Europe has no clue as to the disaster they’re buying themselves by letting so many Africans in.

The article clearly states that genocide of whites has been “widely discredited”

Of course, it is discredited.

What the ANC is doing is Ethnic Cleansing!

It would be Genocide if you kill everybody.

The ANC only kills whitey if he won’t leave willingly.

H’m what about ‘half-whites’ like Harry’s wife? This sounds like the place where they’d want to live in SA.

Look at Zimbabwe for a clear example of the disaster when forced integration happens. . .

There's an old Arab lament: "You let one Jew in here and pretty soon the whole place is a Garden of Eden".

Interesting that anything that adversely affects the black community in America, whether intended or not, is described as ‘genocide’.

Case in point, the bad water in Flint, Michigan was the result of bad management by local officials, many of whom were black.
The media highlighted activists who screamed ‘Genocide’ without a shred of proof yet the national media NEVER put “discredited’ or unproven” at their idiotic demands.

I think your sarcasm tag was dropped somehow.


Yes, it was. I’m finding it fascinating how news is being reported now. Wrongdoing by the Bidens, in spite of Ole Joe on video bragging about it, is called “debunked”. Any moves to drive whites out of RSA is “widely discredited”. But the “Russian collusion” story is never described that way.

Nobody reads the Guardian. Nobody. The doofus who wrote it tweeted it three times and posted 4 retweets, the total number of likes was less than 1000, and the retweets and replies a fraction of that.

The only guy who got any traction was the Communist amish he quoted twice in the article, who had a handful of fist-raised goons screeching.

Ain't nothing gonna happen, them Afrikaners got guns and they'll use them too.

Why do so many people keep insisting on putting cats and dogs in the same cage?

Because the "cats" build nice, clean, safe, quiet, prosperous communities. The "dogs" build nothing, but turn things into dirty, crime-ridden, blighted slums. The "dogs" are jealous and want what the "cats" have. The "dogs" are told that the only reason they don't have what the "cats" have is because the "cats" are cruelly and selfishly keeping it from them. So the "dogs" chase the "cats" wherever they go, forcing those "cats" to continually flee. Nobody feels sorry for the "cats" because their nests are repeatedly ruined and they have to live on the run. No, everybody feels sorry for the poor "dogs." Lather, rinse, repeat.

There's only a few corporations that own the vast amount of 'news' media today. If I were PDJT, I'd use any power the DOJ has to start breaking up these companies.

Isn’t that an interesting concept? Mrs Soetero said recently that whites are still afraid to live among blacks and continue their white flight. Yet, white liberals are moving into cities, by the thousands and moving into depressed areas and turning them around. Most times, as property values go up, the blacks have to sell out or get crushed in the process.

Wonder when all the rich, white liberals will start selling their homes on the Vineyard.

No mention of sky high farmer murder rates, the highest murder rate in the world.

And no mention that Afrikaners are discriminated against on all fronts. When they live in a shanty, they can’t get water or assistance. Then again, according to reports I’ve read, even colored/mixed-race are discriminated against.
