IN TRANSITION
Afrikaner youth attend the Orania 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 a white only town. About 600 Afrikaners live in the village where they celebrate their culture and keep traditions alive. They have chosen not to live in today’s South Africa
