ORANIA, South Africa â You come because there have been stories. Because around the World Cup the talk has been about peace and togetherness and the vanquishing of old racial wounds in the hope that the worldâs arrival might stimulate new solutions. And you hear of a place that wants none of that. A place where white and black canât live side-by-side in the rainbow nation. A place settled by the old South Africa who couldnât cope with the new South Africa.
And you wonder why such a place should exist at all.
So you drive early one morning from Johannesburg, long before the sun climbs into the sky. You go past the flat-topped hills of mining country, through dusty towns and then across the long, open African savannah spotted with acacia trees until five hours later, near the banks of the Orange River, you find Orania.
