Orania, a white separatist town in the Northern Cape Province, was founded by a group of Afrikaners in 1991 in an effort to preserve their identity, language and culture. Lokato Mokwena visited Orania on two occasions and interviewed six residents in an attempt to better understand the reason for the town's continued existence.
