Backers suggest such technology can free bank accounts from regulators and take over some government work. South African economist and media pundit RoodtDawie Roodt said such self-sufficient communities could develop across South Africa and potentially the rest of the world. Supporters are using Orania, a town established by right-wing Afrikaners in 1991, to prove their concept works. Dawie Roodt said like-minded people could connect to each other using a network of their choice, irrespective of nationality, with individual rights inviolable.
