Free country and Free people

#Orania 

According to DailyMail the residents of the small enclave city established during the fading days of Apartheid, 1991 - the most heinous system that sought apartness (segregation) between white and non-whites (blacks). "With only about 1000 residents. "Only white people who identify themselves as Afrikaners are eligible for residency" - TimesLive.

In my opinion Orania people enjoyed much of apartness then and they cannot not deal with #Democracy and the new RSA since the early days of post 1994-elections. BBC writer, Pumza Fihlani, who actually went there adds that Orania has also proved to be the answer for those Afrikaners who felt displaced in the land their people had ruled for many decades.

'Many of the inhabitants of Orania are farmers or traders, and prefer to have as little dealing as possible with the outside world' - DailyMailOne elderly man who was interviewed by the BBC crew that went in an exclusive pass inside the town says he saw nothing wrong with the Apartheid.
