It’s not exactly racially exclusive. It’s an ethic enclave. English-speaking whites are also not welcome. Not that different from an isolated fundamentalist Mormon or Orthodox Jewish or Amish town. Those places may rely on social pressure rather than formal rules to keep homogeneous, but in the end it amounts to the same thing.

The first reason is that it’s in the middle of no where on land that no one cares about. Most isolationist groups, mostly cults, do the same thing. Even if someone living there wanted to sell their home to a black family, no black family is interested in moving 10 hours away from civilization on to property which is worthless unless your a member of the group.
I don’t think the government can do much about it. They seem to be pretty self sufficient, even using their own money. I’m not sure what law the government could use against them, and even if there was one, the optics of rounding up a whole town makes it impossible. The US government tried it with the FLDS church and even though 12 year olds were being married off to old men that didn’t stand.

They’re so obnoxious.
I worked at a bookstore in a suburb that neighboured Sydney’s South African enclave (very leafy, very suburban, very wealthy, very conservative) when I was at uni. I am of a certain pigmentation and I am convinced the owners hired me solely to stick it to the rude South African clientele.

The South African power grid is unreliable, imposing rolling blackouts. Wanting to be independent of a failing system is not really the same thing as doomsday preppers who are afraid of a future that they imagine.

Try to put this in the context of South Africa's history.
Apartheid was the rule of law in that country for over 50 years:
[bold]Apartheid (transl. "separateness", lit. 'aparthood') was a system of institutionalised racial segregation that existed in South Africa and South West Africa (now Namibia) from 1948 to the early 1990s. Apartheid was characterised by an authoritarian political culture based on baasskap (lit. 'boss-ship' or 'boss-hood'), which ensured that South Africa was dominated politically, socially, and economically by the nation's minority white population. In this minoritarian system, there was social stratification and campaigns of marginalization such that white citizens had the highest status, with them being followed by Indians as well as Coloureds and then Black Africans. The economic legacy and social effects of apartheid continue to the present day, particularly inequality.
Broadly speaking, apartheid was delineated into petty apartheid, which entailed the segregation of public facilities and social events, and grand apartheid, which strictly separated housing and employment opportunities by race. The first apartheid law was the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act, 1949, followed closely by the Immorality Amendment Act of 1950, which made it illegal for most South African citizens to marry or pursue sexual relationships across racial lines.
The Population Registration Act, 1950 classified all South Africans into one of four racial groups based on appearance, known ancestry, socioeconomic status, and cultural lifestyle: "Black", "White", "Coloured", and "Indian", the last two of which included several sub-classifications. Places of residence were determined by racial classification. Between 1960 and 1983, 3.5 million black Africans were removed from their homes and forced into segregated neighbourhoods as a result of apartheid legislation, in some of the largest mass evictions in modern history.
Most of these targeted removals were intended to restrict the black population to ten designated "tribal homelands", also known as bantustans, four of which became nominally independent states. The government announced that relocated persons would lose their South African citizenship as they were absorbed into the bantustans[/bold]
This is just a recreation of Apartheid, working within the confines of the country's new laws.
Instead of putting black people in "homelands," they're putting themselves in the "homeland" and keeping everyone else out.
But if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...

They will never grow in numbers, at least relative to the black population, strange to sit like ducks if anything happens, it's in a barren place too, no one wants it.
Apparently they want a state within SA, just like Lesotho which has been always self-governing even under apartheid, so there's precedent.

That’s actually a big difference. What they are doing has no impact on anyone else. You might find it reminiscent of apartheid, but self-isolation is small-scale and private.

The "no white English speakers" excuse is just a cover to protect them from claims against racism.
By saying that they won't admit white English speakers, they can say, "See? We're not racist!"
But in reality, it's just a cover for them.
It also kills two birds with one stone, because they probably don't want English speakers there, either.

[quote] Multimillion-dollar crystal meth lab found hidden in remote farm
Three Mexican suspects were arrested with two South Africans when elite police units raided a multimillion-dollar crystal meth lab hidden in a remote farm north of Johannesburg, police said Tuesday.
The owner of the farm near Groblersdal, about 125 miles from Johannesburg, was among four men arrested on Friday, police said.
A third Mexican was picked up on Monday, the spokeswoman for the elite Hawks unit told AFP.
"The drugs were obviously intended for local and international sale," Brigadier Thandi Mbambo told AFP, adding that the manufacturing facility was operating "at a large scale."
Authorities also seized large quantities of chemicals used to manufacture illicit drugs, including crystal meth and acetone, valued at around two billion rands (more than $100 million), police said.
The Hawks and other specialized units raided the farm in the Limpopo province after a tip-off of suspicious activity there. Police photographs showed the operation was fairly sophisticated and included large machinery.
So far this year, the Hawks have uncovered ten 10 clandestine drug laboratories and made 34 arrests, police said in a statement.
South Africa is a major consumer of meth and the market is growing in neighboring countries and elsewhere in the region, according to a 2021 report by the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime.
