An agreement between Afrikaner cultural separatist town Orania and a Xhosa community in the Eastern Cape aimed at promoting greater co-operation will be signed next week, Beeld reported.
The agreement hopes to encourage greater co-operation between communities wanting to be more independent, according to Jaco Kleynhans, spokesperson for the Orania movement.
He told Beeld that the agreement with the Mnyameni community would involve co-operation in education, economics and agriculture.
The content of the agreement would be revealed when it was signed on 11 December, Kleynhans said.
Mnyameni first approached Orania to discuss a possible agreement that would develop co-operation between the two communities.
Kleynhans said Orania had never intended to exist in isolation, and had always strived for good relationships with other communities and cultural groups.
"We'd like to establish a network of independent communities," he said.
Recent acts of racism in the country should be strongly condemned, says Minister Collins Chabane.
Lindiwe Mazibuko says Zuma's government is failing to uphold Nelson Mandela's "high standards".
A Cape Town man fell to his death after he was reportedly pushed off the R300 bridge.
