Orania | Homeland for Whites in South Africa 

I am black and I think voluntary, peaceful segregation is an idea worth exploring.

It's amazing how it's taken the ANC just a quarter of a century to turn SA into more or less a third world country, with the infrastructure in place they should've been an economic powerhouse, knocking on the door of the G8.

Jealous of white man's success

I have been learning a lot about S.A. lately. The only solution that I can think of would be to let each group govern themselves.

As the man said, "self-sufficient communities is the way, for the world"

I respect the people of Orania and what you are trying to achieve. I'm an Englishman and many of my country men and women send you our blessings.

God bless you beautiful people of Orania. Many greetings from Turkey, from me and my SA wife. Peace be with you.🙏🙏

I often talk about Orania on my tours.It's an example that South Africa can observe and learn from. They deserve their safe haven. There are alot of good things I read about Orania and I support them wholeheartedly as a black South African. May Orania prosper and be blessed by our almighty God.

Afrikaners started from zero many times. They started it agan. Good luck & God bless all of you!

I can see the town taking off growing very quickly as word begins to spread

10:00 he's talking about white people's dependence on black labor which essentially caused the downfall of the white controlled south africa. That was indeed a mistake we made and I'm happy to see these white people working for themselves instead of expecting blacks and others to work for them.

I have read somewhere, Orania have their own currency called Ora !

Greetings from Argentina! There is a little boer community in the Patagonia

I’m not Afrikaans. I’m black and I live in Germany. And I must say I’m quite impressed with what the Afrikaans people did in Orania. This may be controversial but African communities in various countries need to take this as an example. Our African governments are not going to help you. Create self sufficient communities and develop yourselves. Develop your skills and educate yourselves. Become more productive with the resources you already have.

I don't care who does what as long as people live in peace that's all that matters.our gov is doing nothing for them, why shud we bother them.let them enjoy life God gave them.PEACE

I’m black and I’m happy for you guys. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I am a proud spaniard and since I was child I felt a great admiration for the Afrikaans people, their epopeya (epic), their history, way of living. De la Rey one of the best afrikaner generals had spanish roots (De la Rey -in spanish language means "Of the King"-). I wish the best of the best for the afrikaner people. Is really a shame and a social crime what has happened in Suid Afrika since 1990. God Bless you.

I honestly do not see what the big deal is. The SA constitution guarantees the right to self determination. The folks of this town, from all outward appearances I can see, essentially just want to live in peace and govern their own affairs. This is not exactly a revolutionary concept, nor is it one that infringes on anyone else. They should be allowed to continue to do so.

You can't help but admire the Afrikaaner for their resilience, hard work and honesty towards building a better future for their kids. They care for the environment. They don't tolerate drugs, prostitution, gangster culture, corruption to infiltrate their community. There leaders have such strong values. Another huge contributor of their success is they don't have greed. They can just sit on their porch in front of a two bedroom house after a hard day's work, enjoy the sunset, read the Bible while their kids play on the lawn. My people can surely learn from them.

very nice to see a wholesome community like this

I don't know why black people hate this place...because for the first time the Boers did not use black people to build the government, they built it on their own, the founder bought the land with his own money...nobody stole anything...so i congratulate Orania as a black person for being so successful...black people don't like it because they are still angry at the apartheid government...KEEP IT UP ORANIA

Five miles from this place you have total and complete lawlessness

I've been to Orania recently. I was shocked by feeling safe walking home with friends at 22:00, like it used to be before I was born. There was no worry of someone stealing something while we were not in our boarding. This is the way we are supposed to live. Coming back after a weekend in Orania to Potchefstroom, my boyfriend's car battery was stolen from his car that was parked inside his apartment complex. Such a stark contrast.

Wonderful people who only want to live in peace and take care of family.

The difference between an ANC run country and then this small community is startling.

Only if black community's could learn and stop shifting blames.

It's like they knew what was coming...

Intressant o uppmuntrande! Tack!

As a black man I see nothing wrong with Orania and I truly support their idea.

Рус/Eng В русском языке есть выражение "сильные духом". Конечно, вы сильные духом. Ваша вера, упорство и героизм достойны самого высокого уважения. Но, держите порох сухим. Надеюсь, что у вас все будет хорошо. In Russian, there is an expression "strong in spirit". Of course, you all are strong in spirit. Your faith, perseverance and heroism are worthy of the highest respect. But, keep the gunpowder dry. I hope that everything will be fine with the inhabitants of Orania.

It's funny how mad reporters get when they see Orania thriving, developing and being crime free

I have a strange feeling this will be the outcome of most European countries in the next 30-50 years.

Im a white english man and they rekon in 20 years england will be a muslim state this saddens me to the core

"Orania. Cultural village for Afrikaner people of South Africa." More accurate a title imho

The idiots in the comment saying things like "they're taking land from Africans!" Buddy: these ARE Africans! Just like millions of Africans show up in Europe and become European citizens, whites born in Africa are Africans. Some of these folks' families have been in Africa for 9 or 10 generations, some Afrikaaners have been in South Africa longer than the Bantus. This tiny little town with less than 2000 people is safer, more prosperous, and better than the rest of South Africa and that's why you're so bothered by it.

As a Black African in South Africa, I find the Orania philosophy very inspiring and wish more (black) people bought into it. Not so much segregation (by race), by the concept of self-determination. Not relying on corrupt governments or handouts from those who do the work. Taking responsibility for your life and adding value to the world around you, while ensuring you protect yourself and your family from evil external forces. I'm building my own (non-racial) community within South Africa and hope to get assistance from people like Carel Boshoff in future. Let's build a better world.

With forceful mass immigration we need this in Europe, Australia and the US too.

I hope they are armed

Look at the rest of Africa before you judge I guess. This town is beautiful.

Intressant reportage! Gott med positiva perspektiv en söndagsmorgon som denna. 😋

Orania shows the World the way forward , God Bless you all 🙏.

God bless orania hopefully someday I’ll be able to see the place , love from America

How I wish Lesotho 🇱🇸 can take notes from Orania.. respect!

Oranje is for Afrikance speaking religious people.i am neither. But i applause them for what they have achieved

Looks like a beautiful place to me. Sounds like a good idea what they’re doing here too

So.. The only part of SA that is not like Somalia?

Love from serbia

I can't imagine sleeping with the door open

This is what we need in europe

Kudos to Orania. Coloured land next. Each to his own in this time.

Love what you are doing!!

Nice !!

Based, can we do this in the United states? Just need 2 or 3 states and a giant wall.

It is good to live in the only working town in RSA, amongst youre own people. No racism, no crime and no interference from ANC. Let us keep them out and have peace.

For some strange reason we never hear about racial issues in South Africa on the American News anymore😒🤔😂

I like how everyone speaks English in the comments section, fast vi är alla svenskar.

I like the concept and whether some people see it as racist, being together for the good is the ultimate objective.

I don't see any difference between Orania, the Hasidic communities in New York, or the Amish.

I like this, this is great...

The whole problem is that the ANC is completely incompetent and corrupt beyond measure and the Afrikaners are incredibly successful and could turn that country into a highly advanced society that the ANC will never ever be able to accomplish. SARS Head of IT Mmamathe Makhekhe-Mokhuane is the poster child of the ANC and it’s lack of anything resembling a functioning society.

Why not, i think in the future there will be more areas/town just like Orania, We wants to live where we share world views, life views, family traditions, religious or no religious conservative values 🙏🏻✨

What a nice documentary

Love covers multitude of sin.... As long as there's no hate against blacks, May God bless you

Good luck !

Orania is a very interesting place to learn about. I wonder how they have been doing during this crisis? Edit for context: South Africa was experiencing high levels of violence and looting in 2021 when this comment was made.

May God Bless Orania with protection and success!

The title should read homeland for Afrikaaners. It has nothing to do racism.

Western Cape is going independent, thats why people aren't moving to Orania. It would be too much stress living there if everything around it gets worse. If Orania was in the Western Cape every Afrikaner I know would have moved there already.

I have no opinion, merely a few questions. Is Orania sovereign from the South African state? If so, how did you do it? I care not for the " white only " side of it but I am interested in how one would traverse sovereignty on this land in a modern age. ✌❤☀

Hi I have a question. What are the white crosses for. What does mean?

I have a question through. How do youyou intend to expand the geographical area?

Mdidi yamabhunu

Good job. Go your own way,

Do you have translate for Serbian-Croatian

Well done folks. Keep it up. Would like to see this go on 50, 1000, 50,000 years.

Beautiful safe town. Certainly something to consider. My big question is, are English people welcome there to start afresh

Crime free area. Forward with Orania

I have a question. What does the white crosses mean?

Hi, I'm spanish from Spain I speak german and englihs, now i'm learning afrikaans, could I visit Orania?? I'd like go to SA.

These guys are epitome of excellence. They created something beautiful from nothing. It's really inspiring #building mindset

I like their school system!

I live in Orania now for 5 year and the guy who name is Carl Boshoff his wife is my principal

Pragtig ! Ons het sommer baie meer sulke videos nodig om die menswees vd Afrikaner Boernasie in die oë vd wêreld te normaliseer ... ons bid julle alle seën en sterkte toe onder die magtige hand van ons God en Vader. Stadig groei is sterk groei.

Everything's just so bright and white!

Hannah Cornelius, RIP.

Orania sure beats Liberia.

I am not European, but with all the bad stuff happening and the crime that is swept under the carpet; everyone turning and supporting criminals. I don't blame them for doing what they have done. It is called protecting yourself, protecting what belongs to you, and preserving what you believe in. These people should have this-0 crime tolerance and keep it. Well done Orania!!! I am also overseas as I was tired of never ending break ins and people roaming my yard while I was sleeping. I was also a victim. I visited home and I couldn't sleep a wink with fear. Kidnapping is an order of the day. People know who are behind these heinous crimes, but they are supporting them by doing nothing. Again...I salute Orania for taking the brave stance.💪💪💪

Hey I know all the drama is going on in the country right now, I hope this place is safe during the hard times right now. I know you guys will survive, but this whole crisis shows that Orania is a good example for South African whites. People who mostly say this is bad need to wake up and realize that corruption and hunger is happening, build your own farms, make your own communities. I just wonder if you guys are doing okay.

He says something very important at the end; self-sufficient communities are the future (no matter the race). That is now worldwide. Not only in Africa. We are alrady there, at that stage. The inflation, the rules and regulations that hardly anyone can live up to and the endless pressure to just get by, will result in many MANY millions who do not fit into the system, nor will they want to. EARTH GIVES US EVERYTHING FOR FREE AFTER ALL... and let's face it, people tend to find their peer groups anyway, naturally. Where this ORANIA goes wrong is to seperate the people based on colour rather than personality. That's not good, especially if they are replaying the statues of those who created this back in the day. Having said that, they at least don't use "cheap labor", they are getting their own hands dirty... and those of us who know the real situation in SA, either lived there, living there now or took time to study it, we know, that there is no other way but to let each group govern themselves. Let's be honest. Humanity is clearly not ready living together "in harmony" ANYWHERE. Not yet. Secondly. if the government had contributed land better & faster after Apartheid, we wouldn't be here. Why are so many STILLL living in shanty towns? That makes no sence after 3 decades. Decent housing should have been arranged right away for all who suffered and got replaced. *We can all agree on ONE THING though, only if governments didn't exist, neither would the vast majority of the problems in the world.* Create problems, market themselves as the solution. Let the population vote for them, - keeping us busy, make us believe - THEN, nothing changes. .. and eventually the people are the ones left behind with the problems, while they fill their pockets. Our governing apparatus is over. It's the past. They failed us miserably worldwide. Self-sufficient communities are the future for sure. Why should we carry on with this misery? Work all your life, just to enjoy a few months/ years left at the end when we can't do anything anymore. Ridiculous! All promise, no delivery. We can do it on our own. Doing everything by ourselves, trade, swop, grow own food, keep cattle and build our own houses. DID YOU KNOW that just handful of us could build an ENTIRE VILLAGE within a year? So, why are we paying mortgage for 30 years? Absurd. HUMANITY is waking up now, standing up for the TRUTH.. and soon, perhaps these guys will be teaching the rest of the groups who want to be independant how to established their own town. We could all do it. All of us. Not based on colour, I don't support this concept, but on good-hearted people gathering, creating, building. No exploitation, no usage of 'cheap labor', just getting together. All of us. How much do we really need after all? Shelter, food, good company, safe environment, independance so that we *don't feed the system that thrives on our dependance on it.* ... and voilá. We succeeded. We could live next to eachother. In PEACE.. xx..

Super cool. Go Orania.

Orania needs its own Molten Salt Reactor. There's a company in Denmark almost ready to produce commercial MSRs.

Half Malay/Half European (Dutch and Portuguese to be specific) Completely respect Orania and its people. I cant even walk 500m without checking who's behind me (thanks Apartheid) Living without crime would be AMAZING

I love you guys and I hope you will succeed your goal. Knuffels van een Nederlander 🇳🇱❤️🚜

You did well by building that project Cause you knew apartheid was eventually going to slow down. For those of you claiming the ANC is the worst, remember that it is dealing with more than 60 million people, not the 12 million Whites during apartheid.

Beautiful safe place

Is this swedish? If it is, I never realised how close it is to afrikaans.

Good for them

I so wish I can sit down with a leader of Orania, teach me how to start and govern a independent state. I am black young man with a some idea.

I salute you Mr President of Orania..keep up the good and clean environment
