Young white South Africans are increasingly moving to Orania, an Afrikaner-only town, seeking community and identity. Founded in 1991, Orania now has over 3,000 residents. Many young people return after finding the outside world different from expectations, drawn by a local training college and a close-knit atmosphere. The town's focus on preserving Afrikaner culture resonates with some younger members, echoing similar trends in other Western countries. Orania's existence stems from concerns among Afrikaners about their identity following the end of apartheid.
