But those subversive Afrikaans noticed a loop hole in the document (and later the constitution) "Accord on Afrikaner self-determination" that they could exploit to their advantage. Specifically the following amendment dealing with minority groups:

The Constitution may give expression to any particular form of self-determination provided there is substantial proven support within the community concerned for such a form of self-determination.

There's an excessive amount of legal jargon that we're gonna skip over because its boring . The key take away is that this allowed for Orania to legally create its own pseudo-Apartheid community. That's exactly what the Mayos Afrikaans of Orania did.

Afrikaan Utopia

The original purpose of Orania was to form a self reliant society that was built from only the labor of purebred Afrikaans living in their town. Well technically, the original purpose of Orania was to expand in population and create a majority of Afrikaans in the northwestern cape within 15 years after the establishment of Orania. But, this plan was dropped due to Orania population not being able to breed enough and never reaching a population count of more than 3,000 individuals. It never even began for infertile mayos

However, that isn't to say that the community was a total failure. In 1991, the town was formed by 13 individuals and in [current year] has reached a decent population size of 2,377. The town has made significant progress in growing its economy, especially due to the fact the town is located in the middle of nowhere in a desert.

Their main agriculture export is also pecans

Oriana has also created its own currency (but no one outside of the town recognizes it):

Alongside their own currency, they also have their own president and flag:

Flag is a bit weird looking, but what do you expect from mayos

Additionally, every house in Orania is built with solar power. This is one of their steps to becoming self-reliant and eco friendly:

So instead of being regular facist chuds they're eco-facist chuds

Orania is expectionally selective in choosing which residents can move and live there. Generally several requirements have to be met to be granted permission to move there. These include:

• Passing several criminal background checks

• Having Afrikaan ancestry

• Passing an Afrikaan culture test

• Interviews with the Orania council members

The requirements ensures that the majority of the town is full of mayos. The diabolical plan was beyond successful. As of 2021 the current makeup of Orania is 97% Afrikaans (Yikes ). Weirdly enough this has led to Orania having such a low crime rate that the town doesn't even have a police station. .

The town itself is very small with the total land of it being only 3.5 square miles. Orania currently has plans to reach a population of 10,000 and undergo urbanization in an effort to spread the cultural ideals of the Afrikaan "people".

Born from Sneed

Since it's inception, Orania has been constantly scrutinized and sneeded at for having too much mayonnaise in its town. I'm not even exaggerating either. Every year mutiple sneed articles are written about this literally who town across the world from j*urnoids that dont even live there.

Here's a new york times article from 1994 talking about it. The article also contains this hilarious passage:

Mr. Vaughn, 33, said he moved here [Orania] from Los Angeles after being arrested for child abuse in the beating of his 5-year-old son. "Ach, you can't even give your child a hiding there," he said of the land he left behind. He came to Orania two years ago because he admired the "Calvinist values" and racial outlook, and was warmly welcomed with his wife, Brenda, and five children. A few neighbors objected when they learned Brenda Vaughn is three-sixteenths Cherokee, but, said Mr. Vaughn, "I threatened to beat a few people up and it died down."

History truly is beautiful

Here are some relevant modern takes sneeding about Orania:

As expected, sneed about this town has been growing every year as the world is forced learning to embrace diversity (Our greatest strength!).

The South African goverment has sneeded at Orania every year and wants the town to be shutdown permanently and to accept South Africa's rainbow nationalism policy. But the town people just ignore the SA government since they have never taken action once against the town since its creation 21 years ago

Panyaza Lesufi is a parliment member that despises Orania so much that he's called for the abolition of the city full of "mindless racists". Weirdly enough, the majority of the Orania population don't even consider themselves white but rather Afrikaan.

Let's head to the some current year drama of this irrelevant town

Twitter Drama

Recently there was post on this site that revolved around a fragile mayo strangling a black boy for swimming in a mayos only pool. This conflict sparked discourse about racism within South Africa, and of course people began discussing Orania:

Orania must be banned, we cannot have a white only town in South Africa, not acceptable. If white people want to live on their own, they must go to Europe, not in Africa.

Based. Everyone should stay in whatever country their born and never be allowed to move or immigrate

Imagine going to live far away in the desert, just to be left alone, only to still be pathologically obsessed over by people who can't even find you on a map if they were given 1000 guesses.

This guy is unironically right. For all the news coverage and sneed that Orania gets for being on stolen land, they occupy only 3.5 square miles. But they live rent free in the minds of the South African population.

It’s private land, surely they can do what they like on private land? They are not disturbing anyone, living peacefully in their own space and retaining their culture. Why such chest pains over a tiny little place that has no bearing on your life at all?

Bullshit, we have many different races and cultures in this country, and no one stops a particular race from practicing their culture in our multiracial society. These Afrikaners in Orania are racist, we must stop them

Every race should be able to practice their culture except the ones I dont like!

We must go build our houses there and turn it into a city

"If they won't accept willingly, than we'll make them accept us with force"

What Our Grandfather's Failed To Do During Apartheid, We Need To Start Reminding White People They Are European And South Africa Belongs To Black South Africans We Will Not Shrink Ourselves To Accommodate Them The Soil Is Ours We Can No Longer Entertain European Rejects.

Europe has loads of black people now, who ran away from their leaders and they live there in peace. Are you saying they must also come back ?

You don't see us over there harassing white people because of their skin color you don't see us forcefully taking land from the poor causing division because we are not sick in the head like you mfs to think we deserve it all and other humans don't matter now argue about that

Lmao at European rejects

South Africans need to understand that so long as govt endorsed separatists towns like Orania exists, we will Never root out racism. Government has rubber stamped white supremacy We made racists feel comfortable in our own land. The fault is ours and those we voted for.

We cannot have whites showing they can run an efficient village without government funding . Makes us look bad

Volkstaat is an account of an Orania citizen. They post constant updates about the town and the different projects the townspeople are working on. Great place to find drama since people are always sneeding in the comments

There seems to be a misconception that Orania is some magical utopia where everything functions automatically. No. We work hard to keep it going and continue to build our city. It is very demanding to live here. We pay for it all and do all the work.

That's our land you must return it or pay rent for that piece of land

The Afrikaners actually did purchase the land from the South African goverment before they established their chud-town. It also led to the displacement of about 500 African individuals who lived there. However, I feel that the goverment is more to blame for this but who knows?

Oranians install a water meter. All labour is done with our own hands. We have worked very hard to get to this point. So much more to do but we are proud of our BIG little town.

Enjoy your little town while it last foreigners

What did he mean by this?

Making new roads in Orania. Our humble town is a massive construction site. A home for the Afrikaner.

Develop my guy... tell us when you are done then we invade our land

So you cannot develop where you staying? harrasing a small town who just want do better themselves? you call yourself a man of God?

Racism has no place in this world

Anyway, you say you want to take the land? Just to give you perspective, looking up into Africa, many own land, but still VERY POOR. Land does not make you rich. Creating value does.

Oh that's what he meant

Reddit Drama

Some dramatic reddit threads on Orania:

Reddit Thread Link

So they segregated, themselves?

Yeah and given how they are treated by their peers, I can’t really blame them.

Won’t someone please think it the racists!!!” How is this back bush shit upmarseyd??

well considering apartheid south africa and these communities actively defending it…they deserve everything they get lol 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Most of these people weren't even born when it was abolished tough?

your point is? You think there isnt a knock on effect of past events in modern society?

If we want to move forward as a society we must hold grudge and hate from years ago and never let people forget what their ancestors did (This but unironically)

As a white South African speaking on behalf of most other whites in this country, we don't approve of these communities. Every country has its bad apples, and it's sad that others have to feel guilty for their nonsense, but hey, it is what it is.

Why? Shouldn’t people be allowed to decide who can be in their community?

Thats called discrimination buddy

Final Thoughts

So far the fate of Orania and its Afrikaan individuals reamins unknown. The hate for the town grows every year from South African citizens and the government but it looks like it's going to go nowhere in the next couple of years based on past trends.

If you do have time, you should definitely check out the history page on wikipedia or other sites. There's a lot I couldn't include that was somewhat interesting given the long history of the town.

Either way I hope you enjoyed this lengthy read, no better way to end the year with one final effortpost for 2022. Have a wonderful new years friends!
