Since I listed Zimbabwe as a choice above Orania thats not a hard conclusion to come to.. but you did reinforce my point. Thanks Alan ;)

Nope it's kinda the opposite.

In Orania, the people work for what they want, in ZIM they queue for UN aid.
This is the difference between the workers and beggars :p
 
Amazing how the inbred backward whities don't need your help while the Zimbabweans after 30 years of 'progressive' Mugabe rule desperately do :p
 
AFAIK, there are about 750 people leaving in Orania. It's possible that these people are related.

So many?

Damn, that is slightly bigger than I thought. I google'd their crime stats. "They reported 0 violent crimes in the total existance of the Town Orania"

Now that is damn inpressive :)

Hey I mean, 700+ people living in one town and not one guy got donnered by another at least? That is impressive.

It seems I found a place where I can built a house to be used for family holidays and find it the exact same way I left it a year later on my next holiday.

This is what I want :)

It is impressive, I am however interested in the alcohol consumption stats of Orania, if they are on par with the national level it's even more impressive :D

maybe you miss the part where you write reported
 
Orania is commonly known as "the only place on Earth that is officially Afrikaners only", and thus an interesting place to visit. Afrikaners being the only native white African tribe whose language, named Afrikaans, has Dutch, German, French, Khoisan and Malay roots.

It has a population of about 750. It was set up as a "refuge" for the Afrikaner nation, by those Afrikaners who saw the new policies of African National Congress political party as threatening their culture (in particularly the removal of their lanuage from many places, renaming of Afrikaner-estabilished towns into non-Afrikaans names, and other things).

Because the Afrikaner tribe, unlike all other tribes of South Africa did not have any place where they would make a real majority, some people thought that establishing such a place would help their nation to survive. So they bought land and established this community.

Afrikaners deny allegations of racism: they associate the idea of the town as protecting their culture rather than race. As the town is privately owned, they can choose to whom to sell the land and houses. Despite the assertion that it is not racist, only non whites - including non-Afrikaners - are welcome in Orania. Visiting South Africa from Ireland, I found the people here some of the most hospitable people I have ever met. I also found a monument that they had rescued from Boxburg, sited on the top of a hill overlooking Orania, which commemorates the Irish soldiers who fought on behalf of the Boers against the English during the Anglo-Boer war.

If you are white, you may expect the utmost hospitality from these people, be treated to tradional sweets such as "koeksisters" and enjoy the peace and quiet of the expansive Karoo. If you are non-white or not a bigot, you probably will have little interest in visiting this insular little enclave.

It's still pretty impressive regardless I think, put 750 people of the same culture (a tribal one) into a town of their own and see what happens? I bet the stats will differ significantly.
 
Perhaps I need to polish up on my Afrikaans :D
 
I'll pretend to be a deaf mute......I'll blame inbreeding. Should get some sympathy there :D
