Yes there are many Portuguese whites in South Africa but I have never met any of them.
Most Afrikaners/Boers have Dutch and French ancestry, German occurs as well, but the Dutch (colonial) culture is dominant.
Many South Africans are also British and they have mixed a lot with the Afrikaners over time, so have the Portuguese probably!
The entirely British people tend to live in the cosmopolitan urban areas like Cape Town and Durban.

(Afrikaners are the catch-all term for the non-English, mostly Dutch/French whites;
Boers are the Afrikaner farmers and peasants who settled the interior and later fought the British;
Cape Dutch or Cape Afrikaners are the ones who lived on the coast and cooperated with the British,
but this group sympathised with the Boers, developed a lot of the Afrikaner nationalism that led to independent South Africa)

So white South Africans are an ethnic mix, like Americans.

Some are more culturally Dutch/Afrikaner/Boer (especially in rural areas),
some are more cosmopolitan or culturally British (especially in urban areas),
and there are many possible ethnicities.

Everyone speaks English,
many whites and many blacks do not speak Afrikaans,
but many rural whites and Coloureds speak Afrikaans as their first language.
Everyone can get along in English though.

My stepbrother's family was the more cosmopolitan Anglophile type (despite being Swedish),
and we were absorbed into that milieu, and we mostly forgot our likely Afrikaner/Boer roots.

We have never encountered any Spanish either, there may be some,
whites in South Africa are very mixed, white immigration was encouraged,
so you will find many nationalities that immigrated pre-1994. Surprisingly many Eastern Europeans, refugees from communism.

But whites have been mostly leaving since then, with no notable white immigration.

I have heard of white South Africans moving to Brazil, Argentina and Spain more than the reverse!

Thanks for your elaborated response

Indeed, is a disgrace all of that has happened in South Africa since 1994 and onward thanks to the betrayal of some white elites in there (and very likely with some help from the criminal globalist anti white elites moving strings in the background). I sincerely wish that your hopes of a mostly white ethno-state in southwestern south Africa, with its borders very well defended, and maybe supported by China and Russia (safe from the chaos in the remaining parts of SA, and safe from the resentful blacks who want to exterminate whites, no matter how globalists kick and cry about it) successfully materialize someday.

Another question: are there still many whites in Johannesburg (or at least some parts of that city)?, and some of it could be part of the future ethno-state that you defend? or is all Johannesburg a lost cause?

Whites from Johannesburg are/were mostly Boers/Afrikaans, right?

Favorite type of coffee machine?

I don't know, I don't have a coffee machine, I don't drink coffee

I drink tea, and my friends (who live in my house) tend to sleep in, or they like hot chocolate.

My parents would sometimes make strong unfiltered coffee on the stove, without a coffee machine.

I love the smell of coffee but not the bitter taste,
unless it has a LOT of milk, sugar, cinnamon/spices, cocoa, ice cubes!
We made frappucinos at home sometimes when we were kids.

Have you ever been to Teavana or tried their products?
That was an interesting store at the mall, but now they are all closed, owned by Starbucks. Their products are sold at Starbucks.

What part of Mexico you been already hunn?

[CosmoLady]

What part of Mexico you been already hunn?

Puerto Vallarta only! From 2004-08, when I was 12-16. It was beautiful, I had a very positive experience there.

We had a time-share villa that our dad owned with other investors.

Also my mum could not spend as much time in the US as my dad (passport issues),
so we would often spend extra time together in Mexico or Canada.

Yes, South Africa could have resisted the USSR indefinitely,
the fatal betrayal came from the West and the (pro-Western) South African elite.

There was economic warfare and a massive and totally artificial crime wave that started suddenly around 1980,
and continued until 1994 before declining suddenly (though is still high), which severely disrupted the country internally.
And the population was totally guilt-tripped by international media and sanctions and a liberal domestic media,
and De Klerk (1989-94) strongly pushed for the end of apartheid. Ending it was very profitable for the elite.
The state at the time controlled all media and was closely connected to all large corporations,
and suddenly became very liberal and pushed for the end of apartheid and dismantled itself, or changed itself beyond recognition.
Also there was popular euphoria (and profound naivete) with the end of the Cold War, and a guilt complex,
and fatigue with the long-term violence and heavily negative media coverage and global reputation.
Possibly South Africa was the longest sustained Western regime-change operation ever undertaken.

The rural crime wave against farmers started in 1992,
and has continued, there was a big wave from 1992-2002 and 2011-19.
The first wave coincided with Mandela's presidency and Mugabe's violent expropriation of white farms in Zimbabwe in the 1990s,
which was a popular policy with the more militant blacks.
And the second wave coincided with the Zuma presidency, which was very leftist-populist and anti-white, and also less globalist.

However I think that the political elite started disintegrating in the later 1970s when the sanctions started,
and the political elite was very cowardly and sold out Rhodesia and South West Africa in vain to save themselves,
and then sold out their own country to get rich and be accepted into the globalist elite.

So this is why my dad was red-pilled, cynical, jaded from the late 1970s,
and he was totally disillusioned with his parents' Anglophilia in the 1960s.
This is why he moved as a young man to non-Anglosphere South Africa in the 1960s,
for adventure and to become a soldier, and then a pilot in the early 1970s.

In the mid-2000s (when I was like 13) he told me that the US and the West was fatally flawed,
and would deteriorate into something unrecognisable, he had felt that way for decades already,
and I did not see it at the time.

And he encouraged me to keep an open mind and consider a future involving Asia and Russia.
From the late 2000s, and especially in the early 2010s under Obama (after my dad died),
I could see that he was right,
the decline of the US and the West is terminal, non-reversible,
fortunately or unfortunately depending on your point of view.
So I am not afraid of the taboo of tribalism, post-nationalism, and a post-Western future.

Post-1994 South Africa is totally controlled by and dependent on the Western globalists.
This includes both parties, the party of power and the controlled opposition.
There are only some black relationships with Russia left over from the Cold War, and the love of China is opportunistic.
South Africa is the sick man of BRICS, Nigeria is stronger; only South Africa's gold and minerals are valuable.
The South African state is closely aligned with the WEF and transnational organisations and Soros agenda,
but unlike the EU, Canada, and Australia, the South African state seems too dysfunctional to implement totalitarianism.
The US could go in either direction, seems to be drifting toward a South-Africa future (absent Trump), but is much wealthier.

Another question: are there still many whites in Johannesburg (or at least some parts of that city)?, and some of it could be part of the future ethno-state that you defend? or is all Johannesburg a lost cause?

Whites from Johannesburg are/were mostly Boers/Afrikaans, right?

Yes there are many whites in Joburg,
which is larger than Cape Town (metro area is about the same), and Joburg has the main international airport.
Like Cape Town, the metro area is 4-5 million people, about 16-18% white, similar to some mostly black American cities.
The province is 10% white (only because of Cape Town and Pretoria; rural areas are 2-4% white).
The Western Cape is 20% white.

The crime rate is high in Johannesburg but not as bad as Cape Town or other cities,
has something to do with ANC political control over the local gangs, something that is missing in Cape Town/Durban/other places.
Johannesburg does have a tendency for riots and crime waves related to illegal immigration,
I was there during riots in 2019 and 2021.

Massive illegal immigration from other African countries is the biggest problem adding to the high crime rate, drug problem.
The border is open and millions of Africans are entering, like in the US, but this has been ongoing for a long time.
Ironically the black (mostly Bantu) ANC elite are betraying their own people,
because they know that their own people mostly do not work.

The illegals from other African countries are heavily armed though,
and form their own armies/militias like the ABM, or gangs and criminal armies like the zama-zamas,
and can easily form their own state inside South Africa, like the Zulu, other tribes, white people, coloured people...
South Africa is becoming more and more tribal and sectarian.

The country has 60 million people, 30 million live on welfare, and there are only 7 million taxpayers.
The tiny productive minority is squeezed harder and harder to sustain the client population that keeps the ANC in power forever.
Like in the US! Gradually this leads to a breakdown of civil society, Rwanda-like rhetoric, replacement, genocide, expropriation.
Unemployment is around 33%, poverty and crime are widespread, youth unemployment is around 50% and probably much higher.

The Cape is the natural place for whites compared to the interior, and the economy is much better,
white unemployment is only 2% compared to 10% in the interior.
The demographic situation is also better,
the 40% Coloured population in the Cape is mostly allied with the whites, against the ANC.
Even so, whites and Coloureds are only allowed to have 7% of corporate jobs and government jobs.
Woke racialism put into practice, 30 years ago.

White areas in Johannesburg and Pretoria can only survive a civil conflict if the government, state and globalist elite want them to,
and defend them, or allow them to defend themselves with mercenary armies. So they are at the mercy of others.
There are some good, decent blacks that protect private property and public order during the seasonal riots.

Many whites live in gated/fortified communities, my friends and I do as well.
Now the government is trying to force gated communities to be capped at only 7% white as well.
The government is also trying to greatly reduce the water supply and power supply to white areas, capped at 7% again.
The state enforces its monopoly on power and water.
Blackouts are now rampant due to extreme corruption and theft,
and a crisis of competency and inability to maintain complex systems, due to severe affirmative action, brain drain, capital flight.
All infrastructure is degrading and collapsing, and there are water shortages and a cholera epidemic.

Whites form networks in the area as they do elsewhere, but are severely outnumbered by a hostile population.
Some places like Phalaborwa next to Kruger National Park have a large white population (40%),
and are rural and possibly self-sufficient.
Orania is fully-white and in the centre of the country, halfway between Joburg and Cape Town,
and is self-sufficient and defensible with an excellent geographic position,
and would be the eastern frontier of a hypothetical independent Cape Province,
which is about half the country, mostly empty desert.
(There were only 4 provinces under the old regime; now there are 9, and all the government bloat and corruption that implies.)

The mostly-Coloured rural areas of the Western Cape are mostly OK, I have never had any problems there,
but even so many higher-income whites have a tendency to form their own mostly-white towns.

I think that whites in Johannesburg are less English than in Cape Town or Durban,
but the city is still very cosmopolitan, so I don't know.

I have been there but it's been a long time! I did used to really like their selection , however I noticed when they were near closing the customer service there took a major dip and I no longer enjoyed going there because the sales people were so aggressive about buying tons of tea. But it was good for some time they had some pretty neat stuff, although a bit pricey.

LOL, what kind of question is that? No. Would you? Or would you prefer a giant tub of chocolate?

I have not even been to mud baths
