All White Community In South Africa Holds Onto Its Past

ORANIA, SOUTH AFRICA - DECEMBER 12: (.) Barbara Noortman, 53, irons the family's clothes in her living room on December 12, 2003 in Orania, in the Northern Cape province, South Africa. Barbara moved to Orania in April 2003 but still can't find a job in Orania. She depends on her daughter's salary, as a cleaner at a B&B in Orania. She makes around 600-1000 rands (about Euros 75-125) a month. They came to Orania to be with people of their own culture and are struggling to survive as the rent of the house costs 300 rands (about Euros 38) month. Orania was founded in 1991 and bought by descendants of Hendrik Verwoerd, the architect of Apartheid. It is run as a private town only accepting whites. About 600 Afrikaners lives in the village where they celebrate their culture and keep traditions alive. They have chosen not to live in today's South Africa; a country run by a black government since 1994. (Photo by Per-Anders Pettersson/Getty Images)
