Abstract: Abstract Right from the volkstaat’s conception, the brains behind Orania faced a dilemma. On the one hand, they wanted to create a community of private spaces for individuals and their families — a town which functioned much like any other. And on the other hand, in the context of a reforming South Africa, they wanted to restrict ownership conditions and provide enough power to themselves so that the town would be kept white and Afrikaner at all costs. This dilemma, they hoped, would be overcome by offering land not as freehold or as leasehold but as shares.
