I sometimes I think that the beginning of Orania is underrated:
>Start over in a abandoned town with about 40/50 people
>No municipal services, no internal economy, decaying infrastructure
>Harsh environment - arid climate, large boulders, and hard rock beds
>Very little labour available and even less funds
>Health care and basic shopping more than 40km away - often more than 120km away
>R0 in government funding.
The early days could not have been easy. Those people weren't fleeing to greener pastures- they were visionaries and pioneers. They chose the difficult path and built something where very little existed.
And they built the world that I grew up in, which is today an Afrikaner haven for many.
We have a responsibility to keep building, just as those who came before us did.
