An all-white community less than an hour from South Africa’s capital is fighting to hold on to a segregated life.

KLEINFONTEIN, South Africa – An all-white enclave less than an hour from South Africa’s capital is fighting to hold on to a segregated life reminiscent of the country before Nelson Mandela toppled the apartheid regime.
“We feel that our culture is being threatened and we want to protect it and we want to nurture it,” said Marisa Haasbroek, a writer and mother who serves as voluntary spokeswoman for a gated community called Kleinfontein.

Kleinfontein does not hide its ties to South Africa’s divided past, nor its mistrust of the country’s present: At its entrance stands a bust of Hendrik Verwoerd, who is seen as the father of apartheid.
A fence surrounds its almost 2,000 acres and guards in fatigues police at the entrance of the community condemned as “racist” by some critics. (And just what exactly is wrong with protecting YOUR OWN RACE? If that makes them “racist” then so be it! Who cares what the liberal Jew commie fuckheads think! – BDL1983) Among the reasons that Haasbroek and others in the cooperative town cite for walling themselves off are the country’s high crime rates and institutionalized affirmative action, which they say results in white people being frozen out of jobs and university places. (Fair enough! Why wouldn’t they wall themselves out of that crap? – BDL1983)
Before moving to the town of some 1,000 residents, applicants must embrace the community’s “core values,” which are about being a Protestant Christian, an Afrikaner – the group descended from Dutch settlers – and speaking Dutch-based Afrikaans. No non-whites or Jews live or work within its boundaries. (Screw the fucking Jews. It sounds like a Holycau$t in the making… Poor little innocent loving Jews! – BDL1983)
Less than 25 years after the end of the apartheid regime run by white Afrikaners, Haasbroek said their specific identity was under threat.
“My son is the tenth generation with the Haasbroek name in South Africa,” she said. “We are not colonists. We have been here for generations and generations building up the roads, making the infrastructure.” (Yep, the Whites built everything of value in the place – BDL1983)
“And suddenly we don’t feel welcome anymore,” she added.

Above: If Afrikaners’ rights aren’t protected, the children of a community that South African President Jacob Zuma calls Africa’s “only white tribe” will disappear, according to Marisa Haasbroek. (That’s real racism if you ask me – forcing a racial group to integrate and disappear, lose its culture – BDL1983)
So the residents of Kleinfontein have dug in and built a community that they say reflects their heritage. Residents have to be approved by a committee. And all the work is done by Afrikaners. Signs declaring “We are here to stay” in Afrikaans dot the property.
But the issue of who is allowed to live in Kleinfontein — and who is excluded — offends many. (FUCK ‘EM, if they don’t like it why would they want to move there anyway!!!?! – BDL1983) Its residents are from the same white minority that ruled the country for decades, imposing strict racial segregation and oppressing the majority non-white population. (Oppression, fuck off! They really mean the blacks can’t take care of themselves; that’s whitey “oppressing” them apparently -BDL1983)
While the community has been in existence in the outskirts of Pretoria since 1992 – two years after anti-apartheid icon Mandela was released from prison and two years before blacks were allowed to vote – criticism of it has grown recently.
In late May, a black man was blocked from buying a house there. Demonstrators protested outside its gates and local officials launched an investigation of the community, saying discrimination on the basis of language, race and color is illegal. (It may be illegal, I don’t know. But if you’re white and it saves your life then it’s a good idea! – BDL1983)
But along with the criticism, there has been sympathy.
Subscriptions to its “Friends of Kleinfontein” newsletter jumped by around 20 percent in the last three weeks, Haasbroek said. At least 10 people called the community saying they wanted to move there immediately.
“The impression we got from many Afrikaners is that many of them support our right to live the way we do, even if they themselves don’t want to come in live in our quiet little town,” Haasbroek said.
But it isn’t just any quiet little town.
While residents say they simply want to preserve their culture and language, critics argue that the mere existence of the community is a rejection of Mandela and his vision of a non-racial nation. (Fuck the old terrorist bastard! – BDL1983)
“The fact that there are children growing up there and being indoctrinated with hateful ideology that paints all black people as criminals, that really concerns me,” said Czerina Patel, a South African journalist who is the executive director of Yenza, a charity that works with disadvantaged young people.
“The bottom line is [if a non-white] Afrikaans-speaking person wanted to live there they couldn’t,” she added. (Boo hooo hoooo, bad luck… – BDL1983)
Residents of Kleinfontein respond to criticism by saying it is they who were being squeezed out of Mandela’s “Rainbow Nation.”

Johan Foley, a former bank manager, did not mince his words about why he moved to Kleinfontein about 20 years ago.
“We are worrying about black people,” said Foley, 76.
“Every time they get their hands on something, it is going bankrupt, there are troubles,” he said. “White people gave them clothes, an education.” (Sounds familiar doesn’t it – BDL1983)
Foley said he moved to Kleinfontein after he built a “pretty house” in Nylstroom – renamed Modimolle by the post-apartheid government.

And they hardly ever mention the GENOCIDE of Afrikaners in our Jew media. The count is 70,000 or more whites murdered by savage blacks. Don’t they count? Oh yeah, they are white, therefore evil oppressors……. Fuck the ANC, Jacob Zuma, and Mandela… Scumbags.
I’d welcome the Afrikaners to Australia. We’ll take them and send our blacks back! How’s that for a trade? Nope, can’t do that, it would make sense!
