Evidence

In the broader Manguang district, white Afrikaners represent only 10.7 percent of the population. In the past Afrikaners dominated local government structures in Manguang. Their representation now matches their demographic profile, with roughly 11 percent of the jobs in the district municipality currently held by whites (of whom the majority are Afrikaners). — Cornel Verwey and Michael Quayle, Whiteness, racism, and Afrikaner…, 52
