Dorpie just for whites only

Forget about Orania, a new “whites-only” settlement is rising and its founder is promising a free 1 000 square metre piece of land to any (white) South African who wants to help “fight against the uprooting of the white race”.

The settlement, named “Eureka”, is situated outside Garies in the Northern Cape.

Its founder, Adriaan Alettus Nieuwoudt, describes himself as the official co-ordinator of the Eureka Movement of South Africa, reports the Diamond Fields Advertiser.

Eureka is described as a “security town” where people can “securely retire, live and work with their own schools, shops and medical services in their own mother language (Afrikaans) and rural culture”.

According to Nieuwoudt, he bought the land “with his own money, during 2016”.

He said that the “movement” had registered 5 000 members by Tuesday.

However, not all comments on their Facebook page were positive.

Paula Stephanie Rocher Marais stated that “it sounds like a sour milk scheme”, apparently referring to Nieuwoudt, who is also the man behind Kubus, the notorious rotten milk pyramid scheme that took SA by storm in the early 1980s.

Thousands of people bought his cheese and milk culture, “growing” it in glasses and then drying it into a powder to re-sell to Nieuwoudt and recruiting others to do the same, in a classic pyramid scheme.

He claimed he needed the dried powder to develop a skin cream product, but tons of the culture was found rotting in a shed.

Niewoudt was found guilty of diamond theft in the 1990s and sentenced to eight years.

He served a year in jail.
