Some 27 years after the abolition of apartheid, there are still communities of white South Africans who refuse to mix with their black fellow citizens. It's the case in the town of Orania, where the only language spoken is Afrikaans, the tongue of the first Dutch settlers. In Orania's schools, students are taught an alternative version of history. Our colleagues from France 2 report, with FRANCE 24's James Vasina.
A programme preapred by Patrick Lovett and Gaëlle Essoo.

The old saying goes, "A language is a dialect with an army and a navy." Afrikaans had both and now has neither. Om eerlik te wees, my volk is te lui om ons taal reg te praat.

What, if I may ask, is dominated and is running rampant, by the Black Community, other than crime ? We , against our own will, built the foundation, from which others merely profited. And what you witness today, here in America, is only a continuum of a process that was instigated, long before you or I came into existence. We, like everyone else, are only part of an evolutionary dynamic. Part of a trajectory of misfortune for some and most certainly, a benefit for others. If you look deep into your history and you are with a moral compass, you should be ashamed. On the other hand, if that is not the sentiment felt, "GOD have mercy, on your soul."

Further we have seen the removal of the Rhodes statue from Cape Town. These Institutions and Symbols are important parts to White South African cultures. Let's look to the United States where I currently live. Latinos move to the US from a number of countries in the Americas. Overtime these Latino communities lose their language. Second they lose their practices as they adapt to American culture. In successive generations, these communities dissolve. Most White Latinos do not identify as Latino within 2 generations.

I think it's great that Afrikaans people want to preserve their culture because it forms a part of their identity but i just don''t think that isolating yourself from the rest of the world in the way that Orania has in South Africa is the way things should be done. In my South African passport the front page says that we all should be able to move across our country freely-i don''t think that everyone is welcome to go to Orania. I also feel like the ANC is trying to balance the power-distribution in South Africa hence inowadays it's more difficult for white people t find jobs but it's not that their trying to erase white culture or identity. I mean, if you calculate the percentage of wealth distribution in South Africa, white people who are the minority (like you said) dominate a significant amount of it. So my feel is that the ANC are trying to balance that and it feels as though they are erasing white culture but really their not. (I'm addressing the one gentleman who moved to Orania because of job-difficulties) Again, culture preservation isn't a problem-it's how you preserve it that matters because we live in a country full of people so we all do have to share.

First negotiations for this country was between Anc elites and business elites. They made deals before the main negotiations. But we shouldn't call out black economic empowerment, which was largely driven by capital, as if there wasn't English Empowerment and later followed by Afrikaner Empowerment when they took one. Thinking was right everybody deserved to be empowered. English oppressed both blacks and Afrikaners put them in concentration camps. Later Afrikaner oppressed the blacks.

Facts check : Afrikaans was the tongue of the slaves of Dutch settlers, the slaves created their own language and it originated in Africa. Afrikaans is an African language.

Lol wtf i am dutch and i can understand Afrikaans pretty well so it 's root is definitely Dutch...

Correct, however it remains the language of the Dutch slaves who refused to speak Dutch. Interesting fact, this language evolved twice from Dutch, once in Africa and once in Europe.

Very poor piece of journalism, unbalanced and lacks research. For a French channel I'm astounded they do not know their own history. Afrikaaners are not just descendants of Dutch but French also, Huguenot refugees. Afrikaans became the language of the first settlers that included those people. Before some fool comes out talking kak, I'm not an Afrikaaner and I'm not black. It seems Orania has become yet another refuge that these people have sought since they have become marginalised, so let them build a community where there is mutual respect for humanity. As someone who has lived in that part of the world this region is far more complex than this slanted piece by France 24.

[@dbclass2969]

Tf does their ancestry have to do with anything? They locked millions of black natives in open air prisons and held rights from them, that’s evil. Should Germans not demonize their Nazi ancestors? Should White Americans not be able to speak down on Confederates?

[@seanrota3359]

@@dbclass2969 Obviously you missed what the journalist had to say. Its about balance and getting facts right

[@dbclass2969]

Sean Rota I agree with the facts part but their ancestry isn’t relevant to the story. And this community isn’t marginalized, many White South Africans live their lives with very little social issues. They make the majority of the income in the country and they own most businesses and land. There are very few White townships and the ones that exist are often due to choice.

[@seanrota3359]

@@dbclass2969 Ancestry may not be central to the story but if journalists are not called out on not doing proper research then what else are they going to be lazy about in such articles. No one is disputing where the majority of wealth lies, or the fact that apartheid oppressed black and coloured people. I protested against apartheid but that does not mean I support another form of racism.

In the USA where I live there are so many ethnic enclaves of Orthodox Jews, Chinese ("Chinatowns"), Somalis, Vietnamese, Koreans ("Koreatowns"), African Americans (Harlem) etc etc where the vast majority of inhabitants belong to one group. The most extreme example would be the colonies of Amish and Hutterites, who are 100% of white European descent, interact very little with the outside society and are pretty much closed to outsiders. Is this racism or ethnocentrism?

[@sekoaib]

No I understand those types of towns like China town etc, with this type of place like Oriana, they bought a piece of land and they don't fall under the jurisdiction of South African government, they have their own government and they rule themselves and they might even have their own president, they broke away from the South African government they are totally autonomous. Whereas China town and China is still under American rule. Yes it is racism because they don't want to be ruled by a black government, and they believe that South African government want to do an die out their Afrikaans culture so it's both ethnocentrism and racism.
