Ah yes, the "barbarians" couldn't possibly manage delivering a packet by themselves, after having their country looted for centuries (ongoing).

There's no doubt this laptop would've been delivered frictionlessly if Uganda had never suffered under colonial rule :) And who knows what the UK would be like..

>The town was founded with the goal of creating a white ethnostate for the Afrikaner minority group, the Afrikaans language and the Afrikaner culture through the creation of an Afrikaner state known as a Volkstaat.

>All jobs, from management to manual labour, are done by Afrikaners; non-Afrikaner people are not allowed to live or work there.

>The town's monoculturalism and monoethnic philosophy rejects the concept of baasskap, where the White minority exploited Black labour for economic gain, in favour of a model of strict Afrikaner self-sufficiency.

>The town has grown at an annual rate that was estimated at 10% in 2019 — faster than any other town in South Africa.

>The population increased by 55% to 2,500 from 2018 to mid-2022, and to 2,800 in July 2023.

>In 2023, the town council announced plans for the population to grow to 10,000 as soon as possible.

I'm honestly tired of the bullshit anti-colonialism ideology. These people are so "racist" they purposefully tie their hands behind their back to avoid exploiting black people to prove how they are superior that the standard anti-colonialism rethoric is just a thinly veiled self-hate ideology at this point.
