I Investigated South Africa’s Whites-Only Town
In this documentary, we take you inside South Africa’s whites-only town, Orania.
Orania is home to around 3,000 residents and if you want to live there, you have to meet certain requirements. The first and most important is that you have to be a White Afrikaner. Afrikaners are descendants of Dutch settlers who played a key role in establishing and enforcing apartheid. Additionally, residents must be Calvinist Christians, have a clean criminal record, and exclusively speak Afrikaans within the enclave.
Despite its size, Orania is a self-sufficient community with its own local government, currency, flag, college, farms, bank, airstrip, and their own rules. The community’s growth and ambitions are notable, yet it remains deeply controversial. Critics label Orania as racist, while supporters argue it is a place for cultural preservation and self-determination. This ongoing debate highlights the complexities of Orania’s existence in modern-day South Africa.
I want to find out the truth about Orania and see it for myself. What drives people to live in such a secluded and controversial place? How do they balance their ideals with modern South Africa? By making the 9-hour journey from Cape Town, I hope to answer these questions, meet the locals, and share the real story of this unique community.
Thanks to Orania’s team for providing some extra footage.

Why do the Boerewors not move to Holland?
Oh, I forgot: even the Dutch don’t want them.😂😂
Leave those whites alone,they live in peace ..no mugging or thieving,it's bom like that
why not creating nazis small communities in Germany
It's like Amish in the US….. If they want to be separated from the rest it's okay. Black people do the same. Korean and Japanese do not allowed their people to marry outside race. Oranian trying to establish safe community. I agree with their decisions
Absolutely beautiful to see a whites only community….so in love with Orania
90% of South Africans love Orania and what they stand for.
Is more like a indian reservation without Orania afrikaaner people are doomed to extinction
Wow! Im European and I would strongly live there. So beautiful. 😍
Absolutely a paradise!
Whether you like it or not, it's natural for humans to segregate. People feel more comfortable being around other people that are similar to them. What irritates me is that when white people do this, they are labeled racist. Any other race that does this, nobody even points it out.
So if black Africans went to a European country and built a blacks-only town everyone here would be okay with that? That's the sense I'm getting from reading all these comments praising this place
LOL why are you telling them how to live there lives and run the "town" ??? how would you feel if the media says no more men or white people.
This is how VENDA was
Most white supremacist think here that white people are like somehow the great moral people with high values and hence segregation is justified. The dudes need to get back to basic history of colonosation and stealing of resources from the native africans by eurpoeans for centuries, and then decades of apartheid regime that excluded black people from better economic opportunities that pushed them to more poverty and increased wealth of white people.
And now people here are like cool, lets get back to that era and further increase the economic and social divide between races. Paint the natives of the land for 1000 of years as barbaric criminals and decendants of settler colonists as the morally upright people.
At some point i think, its justified to force feed the ideas of universal Declaration of human rights on people, cuz racist psychopaths can never be reformed however much Nelson Mandela preaches of equality and brotherhood.
Rasicm
White people best
Who’s going to protect these people when the inevitable happens?
Africans can’t be this naive??!! Really??! You allow these people to come into your land and exclude you??!! How arrogant and disrespectful!! No wonder you all are so poor in your own country. Never would any other race tolerate this in their respective countries.
Fascinating! They are going to do very well for themselves! There may be a lot to say about it good and/or bad… And how sustainable this is. But this is good for them. I would have liked to hear more testimonials, though I am sure most people did not want to be on camera.
Isn't this the idea of gated communities? Difference is that our gated communities keep the poor out rather than keeping only a single colour in.
truly inspiring as how unified and most importantly a safe community.
Yes a safe place, but smells like incest, how can you find smb not related to you in such a small place
As a black man I support Orania and I say people should leave people of Orania alone
As black south African , you'll never have something like orania because you'll be classified as RACIST, and European South Africans and south african government as a whole, THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE A BLACK MAN BEING self-sufficient,
AS A BLACK NATION, YOU'LL NEVER HAVE SOMETHING LIKE ORANIA, FORGET ABOUT IT
As a member of the Black community, I understand the current situation. These individuals aim to preserve their peace and protect their culture. South Africans could benefit from observing and emulating their example, as it represents a commendable approach. We must not ignore the lessons being demonstrated, as doing so would suggest we are driven by animosity.
It is essential to allow these individuals their space, as we may learn the valuable lesson of respecting boundaries and focusing on our own affairs. 🫡 they don't want visitors out of their race or whatever, who cares? It's their choice
The Country is big enough for groups who want to have their own Communities, black or white or mixed
brilliant community. this is the future.
this is a cult
