IN TRANSITION
Afrikaner children dressed up in traditional clothing at a Farm Show in Orania, in the Northern Cape province, South Africa, 2004. The yearly event brings visitors from neighboring villages and cities for the three-day show. The village was founded in 1991 and bought by descendants of Hendrik Verwoerd, the architect of Apartheid. It's run as a private town and only accepts white people. About 600 people 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.
