Serious question for anyone with historical/geopolitical insight. After the ANC took over and apartheid officially ended, why didn’t the white South Africans—especially the hardcore Afrikaners who built the system—just carve out their own ethnostate and secede?
They had the military, they had the nukes (allegedly), they controlled the economy, and they knew what was coming. If they were so committed to racial separation, why accept integration and majority rule instead of balkanizing the country?
Was it cowardice? Strategy? Economic pragmatism?
Why didn’t we see a “White South Africa” emerge the way Rhodesians tried to hold on or like how breakaway republics form in other failed multicultural states?
Was secession ever even on the table—or was the Volkstaat meme always a cope?
Pic rel was Volkstaat, a proposed white only homeland within South Africa that never got anywhere
