Orania’s residents reject the idea that their town exists as a way of forming an exclusionary community along racial lines, and they say section 235 of the Constitution provides legal backing for their thinking. Unemployment is virtually non-existent. Orania even has a worker hostel that takes in Afrikaners who are down on their luck.
"We won't fix South Africa by tearing down statues - you won't fix poverty or education by throwing every last bust of Verwoerd in the ocean. I don't see any reason why you can't address South Africa's problems and still take ownership of your heritage and your past," he added.The people of Orania argue that South Africa could learn a thing or two from their way of life.
