Orania is not located along any main route. Inthe barren Northern Cape in South Africa, somewhere on the R369 betweenHopetown and Petrusville lies this town that has been steeped in controversysince its establishment as a nation state exclusively for white Afrikaners.Orania was founded in 1990 by the son-in-law of Hendrik Verwoerd, the architectof apartheid. It is a town of unusual combinations: a thousand white people andmany thousands of pecan trees; the arid Karoo and the green banks of the OrangeRiver; the ideology of some and the opportunism of others. People wonder aboutOrania. What is it like? What type of person would live there? Are thereentrance gates? Is it neo-apartheid? Photographer Michael Hammond aims hiscamera at the people of Orania, while accompanying narratives by writer HanlieRetief provide a glimpse into their lives.
