In todays episode I share my shocking experience of my wild adventure in Orania, South Africa's infamous whites-only settlement!
As a black woman from Ethiopia, stepping into this community was like entering a whole new world.
In "Inside South Africa's Whites-Only Separatist Town: My Shocking Experience!", I spill all the tea on what went down during my trip.
Now, Orania might seem like a closed-off, mysterious place from the outside, but trust me, what went down inside will blow your mind.
Join me as I navigate the streets of Orania, meeting residents and uncovering the truths that define life in this secluded town.
Leaving Orania left me with more questions than answers. What's the deal with this place? Can we ever move past the mess of apartheid?

The murder rate in South Africa is at a 20-year high.

According to the latest annual statistics, more than 27,000 people were killed in a year but only 12% of cases were solved.

Security van heists and robberies are also a serious problem, with many people relying on private security instead of police.

Minister for the police, Bheki Cele, said the government was getting "on top of things".

BBC Africa Eye investigates the rise of xenophobia in South Africa and the violent targeting of migrants.

Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica

A network of anti-migrant groups is emerging across South Africa, spreading anti-migrant rhetoric and even attacking migrant communities. The groups blame illegal migrants for the state of the country’s economy, lack of housing and an explosion of drug abuse. But their critics accuse them of being violent vigilantes, who target some of the country’s most vulnerable people.

#bbcafricaeye reporter Ayanda Charlie gains rare access to Operation Dudula, South Africa’s most notorious anti-migrant group. Dudula say they are standing up for ordinary South Africans who have been let down by the government and deny allegations that they are a vigilante group who preach a doctrine of violence. As she takes to the street with Dudula members, Charlie not only hears xenophobic rhetoric but also witnesses small business owners from neighbouring countries being physically threatened, forced to hand over their business, and hears how Dudula intend to establish a political party to contest South Africa’s upcoming general election.

The ANC has ruled South Africa for 30 years. The party once stood for the end of apartheid. But many voters want change before the 2024 elections.

Nolutahndo Hassamo has also become disillusioned with the ANC. Most of all, she holds the government responsible for the widespread poverty. In Johannesburg she's been taking to the streets to demonstrate for safe and affordable housing. Social inequality is also one of the main points of criticism raised by the new social democratic party RISE Mzansi, together with the country’s rising crime rate. Other parties blame foreigners for all of the country's problems and are calling for deportations. The ANC can still hope to win the upcoming election - but discontent is growing in South Africa. A report by Stefan Möhl.

Social scientists have long compared racism in the United States, South Africa and Brazil. Unlike the US and South Africa, Brazil managed to produce similar disparities between blacks and whites without the need to mandate racial inequalities by law.

Sky Africa correspondent Yousra Elbagir reports on South Africa's extreme inequality ahead of what could be a historic election on Wednesday.

A lack of jobs, surging crime and rampant inequality mean some voters are turning away from the African National Congress of Nelson Mandela to support other parties.

On September 12, 1977, the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa was dealt a heavy blow due to the death of Bantu Steve Biko, a popular voice of Black liberation in South Africa between the mid 1960s until his death in police detention in 1977.

Biko was one of the most prominent leaders in the anti-apartheid struggle and in some quarters he was seen as “the most important black South African leader of this generation.” So important, in fact, that the Apartheid Government was terrified of him.
