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.

I see the BBC sent a black reporter in too.
Must have been a coincidence.
SARC
Isn’t that the truth.
No white, normal, straight males can say they’re proud and when this is brought up to the intolerant left they have no answer and just shout racist again.
The Afrikaners should have just abandoned the eastern half of the nation and settled in the Western Cape along with anyone else that wanted to get away from the ANC, declared it independent, and told them to have a nice life.
Very interesting article.

“The levels of crime and violent crimes in South Africa are definitely pushing powers that bring people to Orania. Many of them have been victims of crimes,” says Mr Boshoff.
South Africa is considered to be one of the most violent societies in the world, with one of the highest murder rates.
Official statistics suggest that most crimes actually happen in poor communities between people known to each other, but this has not stopped the fear of crime in other communities.

“It’s very safe here. We sleep with the doors unlocked. You can walk in the street at 3am without any fear. You don’t have that where you live,” he tells me.
I bet the town is awesome.
What’s the crime rate there compared to the rest of South Africa?
One could say it’s racist to say that it shows yet again how whites can make a town, make it work and, then have no crime and be safe.
Course that’s racist to the intolerant left.
Look at the liberal New England area.
Bastian’s of the left and yet mostly white, while they like to put down southerners and the south for being racist and backwards.
The only place I have been pointed out and openly shunned is Nantucket Island.
““It’s very safe here. We sleep with the doors unlocked. You can walk in the street at 3am without any fear. You don’t have that where you live,” he tells me.”
Truly hard to imagine.
Go into any southern city or town and see how integrated it is. These people live in the past.
Truly hard to imagine.

Seems to be working...........???
I’ve never been to Nantucket. It’s probably nice, but a bit of a closed society.
Peter Hammond scorched the Mandela myth, describing his personal experiences: Peter Hammond meeting with Mandela
I'd guess from comments and reading...extremely low.
You know if muzzies can have a muzzie-only town HERE IN THE USA, FFS!!!
I don’t see why Afrikaners can’t have an Afrikan-only community in Africa.
Worked up there for a bit and had to live up there and trust me there are many who like to make fun of the south and southerners.
I live in the northeast and cannot believe the prejudice against southerners. Ignorant, provincial northeasterners!
That was because you are 8 ft. tall and look like an ape.
