Orania reminds me of a commune. I first heard about it when they had a contest for the best koeksister. Now they have small boarding types houses for tourists. It's good because the foreign press gave them such a bad name way back. I still would like to visit there, very quiet and one doesn't have to seep behind a ten foot gate.

No way you aren't talking too much!

Yes, Orania is very much a community in the true sense. There was never anything sinister about Orania, it's just that it's like a club for people willing to commit to the lifestyle and shared values. They have some great plans, and contrary to early popular opinion, the town continues to make a good existence. I wonder how long the government will leave them alone.
