Hi Becky
Sorry... have been away from the old computer a bit..
Orangia is the old Union of Orangia
>Specifically political organizations accompany this development. Parties
committed to Afrikaner self-government are formed - Het Volk ('The People')
in the Transvaal in 1905, and Orangia Unie ('Orange Union') in the Orange
River Colony in 1906.>
