Most of us are aware of Orania's history and there appears to be mixed reviews on it's success now some 20 years on. It was in 1990 just after Mandela was released that the Boshoff family bought the town for 200,000 USD. I am posting a link to a Wikipedia site with all sorts of info - they claim there is an Ora vs rand that is, their own flag, their own co-operative society and all sorts of systems geared around one of the guiding principles which is self-determination and self-sufficiency - so have a look see for yourself!
