In the sparsely populated Karoo desert in the heart of South Africa's Northern Cape, the spirit of apartheid lives on.
I spent a few days in Orania, a town established in 1991 where no black people live.
I was part of a BBC crew, including Zimbabwean journalist Stanley Kwenda, who were accredited to visit.

What the world has done to South Africa is criminal.
By Ray Charlston
Orania, a white separatist community in South Africa, has been ordered by the South African Supreme Court to admit black residents.
In a victory speech after the decision, attorney M’bkei Modise stated that “Whites have created an all white community that is economically prosperous and almost entirely crime free.
The white Afrikaners claim they merely wish to keep the so-called Afrikaner language, culture and customs alive. It has arguably become the best place in South Africa to live. That is why I want to go there and get out of this dump. Let’s face it, whites create better cities.”
Mr. Modise revealed the extent of his profound self-hatred when he announced his own intention to move to Orania claiming that “The ANC has utterly failed to provide a safe state for black Africans. Even Bishop Desmond Tutu was forced to admit that South Africa is now worse than it was under apartheid.
Unfortunately, I can’t bring back apartheid, but I can try to move to a white area. Let’s face the facts. Our so-called president, Jacob Zuma, is a lunatic who thinks you can wash off HIV with a shower.
Crime, poverty, disease and government corruption are at an all time high. We didn’t realize how good we had it in the old South Africa.
I blame white liberals and the ANC terrorists who lied to us and stirred us up with resentment against the former system.”
A spokesman for Orania issued the following press release upon word of the decision. “We appreciate that many people admire the achievements of our community. We can rightly take pride in those achievements.
Our fear is that once a sufficient number of new residents move to Orania, our current way of life will not be sustainable. If necessary, we will be forced to leave and establish new communities elsewhere.
We will continue to protest this decision and work to appeal it through the legal process.”
In a supremely irrational move, Mr. Modise declared that he is suing American civil rights leaders who campaigned against Apartheid for “stoking the false notion that blacks are better off under self rule and not when they are not under the protective and paternal rule of benevolent whites.
I may also sue the US media next. Under apartheid they attacked South Africa non-stop, but now when things are worse than ever under ANC rule, where are they?” Jesse Jackson has been named in the lawsuit.
Mr. Jackson offered no comment when contacted by Diversity Chronicle staff.

What’s said is that Mandela won out over a good Christian man in Chief Buthelezi in running post-Apartheid South Africa.
Should say, “What’s sad is....”
Or as the Northeast liberals call their Mecca, Nantucket.
Used to date a girl years ago. She got married and they moved there from Scarsdale NY.
She preaches tolerance, diversity and all the other crap from the left. Yes they bought a house in Chappaqua.
hypocrisy at it’s finest but even better they heard that they might be building affordable housing there years ago and the residents petitioned against it.
Purpose[edit]
According to its founders, the purpose of Orania is to create a town where the preservation of Afrikanerdom’s cultural heritage is strictly observed and Afrikaner selfwerksaamheid (”self reliance”) is an actual practice, not just an idea. All jobs, from management to manual labour, are filled by Afrikaners only; non-Afrikaner workers are not permitted unless they have skills no resident has. “We do not want to be governed by people who are not Afrikaners”, said Potgieter, the previous chairman. “Our culture is being oppressed and our children are being brainwashed to speak English”.[6]
The town’s ultimate objective is to create an Afrikaner majority in the northwestern Cape, by encouraging the construction of other such towns, with the eventual goal of an Afrikaner majority in the area and an independent Afrikaner state between Orania and the west coast, also known as a volkstaat.[7]

Wow. We could use more than a few places like that here in the good ol’ USA.
Racist? Replace “Afrikaners” with “blacks” and you hear the same rhetoric 24/7 from the Race Pimping Revs.
Will the next report be from Zimbabwe’s black only farms and government? Or Al Sharpton’s black only NAN board of directors?
Don’t get it.
There are many black areas where no whites live and it’s not racist. no whites go to court to live there.
Now if there is a town like here which is white then blacks go to court and say they want to live there.
why does one like this guy or homosexuals want to move to places where they are not wanted?
When we moved here years ago we checked out the neighbors and how friendly it was. We certainly would not move to an area which does not want us.
They have their own currency
The banksters will not allow that to stand.
I’ve relatives that lived in Zimbabwe.....I believe they have all been driven out.
The town boasts amenities such as shops, hair salons, a library, a post office, a hotel, a couple of schools - and churches, a lot of churches.

No? Thass raciss.
“What the world has done to South Africa is criminal.”
What the Ivy League schools with their ‘divestiture’ schemes have done is also criminal.
Yes, there’s nothing worse than libs who live in lily white neighborhoods preaching tolerance and diversity. Look at Maine!
