Vereniging van Oranjewerkers

Formed in 1980 by Wally Grant, H. F. Verwoerd junior (the son of Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd), Carel Boshoff and C. J. Joost, the group bemoaned the over-reliance of South Africa on a black workforce and sought to set up Oranjegroeipunte (Orange growth points) where the group would buy up land to settle unemployed white people on.

[2] Alongside this they also developed the plan of bolwerke ('bastions'), or privately owned farms whose landowners would undertake to stop utilising black labour.

[1] Eschewing the party political route, the Oranjewerkers became more of a research group, undertaking a series of studies of the demographics of the country.

Leading member Hercules Booysen termed their mission as dinamiese-konserwatisme, seeking newer ways to implement the old ideas of apartheid and the creation of a Volkstaat.

The organisation features prominently in Larry Bond's tale of a fictionalised Cold War conflict in South Africa, Vortex.
