Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>EFF members in the Northern Cape are expected to march to Premier Zamani Saul\u2019s office on Tuesday to protest against the existence of Orania.<\/p>\n

Party members said the town\u2019s existence to preserve Afrikaner culture was a \u201csmokescreen for a hidden agenda to preserve apartheid ideologies with the hope that someday, apartheid will be order of the day\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Africa is a sovereign state and cannot allow for the autonomy of various groupings and the creation of interstates based on false claims of preserving culture which is already protected and provided for in the constitution of the republic,\u201d said the EFF in the Northern Cape.<\/p>\n

\u201cAllowing such settlement arrangements within a sovereign state has already led to calls by various other groupings for their own independence based on ethnicity and culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Orania is a white separatist town founded by Afrikaners located along the Orange River in the Karoo.<\/p>\n

Provincial chairperson commissar Shadrack Tlhaole told SABC News that despite discussions between the Freedom Front Plus party and leaders of Orania, the march would take place because the EFF wanted to see other races living in the town.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that segregation is what destroyed our country… what we raised with the community of Orania and its leadership is something that we must stand against and defend the interest and sovereignty of this country,\u201d said Tlhaole.<\/p>\n

The party called on the government to review Orania\u2019s existence and for the dismantling of the town which was \u201cbrewing\u201d racism, segregation and trampling on principles.<\/p>\n
