Volkstaat - Freedom Front

The Freedom Front has been the major political driving force for the formation of a Volkstaat. This Afrikaner-focused political party has representation in the national Parliament as well as several Provincial legislatures in South Africa. Support for this party has however dwindled to less than 1% by the last National elections in 2004, with the Democratic Alliance obtaining most of the Afrikaner vote.

Volkstaat - South African Legislation

Section 235 of the South African Constitution allows for the right to self determination of any community, who shares a common culture and language, within a territorial entity within the Republic, or in any other way, as described by national legislation.

This section of the constitution was one of the negotiated settlements during the handing over of political power in 1994 by Afrikaners. The Freedom Front, was instrumental in including this section in the constitution.

Volkstaat - Establishing a Volkstaat

One Volkstaat attempt is the small town of Orania in the Northern Cape province. The land on which Orania is built is privately owned, and Afrikaners have been encouraged by promoters of the volkstaat concept to move to Orania, although only a small number has responded. Another attempt is the settlement of Kleinfontein outside Pretoria (in the Tshwane metropolitan area).
