Say it's a spelling reform to further distinguish Afrikaans from Dutch. Or new from old.
So your thoughts on how Azania is well-known for its ties to China with Azania being quite enthusiastic about OBOR?
It's interesting how China is getting its bread buttered by both sides of the African Cold War, the Bokassaists are also lining up for whatever China's handing out. Not sure how wise that is given all the strings attached, but hopefully it can defuse tensions somewhat.
For the same reason idiotic white supremacists in Northern US states wave Confederate flags.
I think it was kind of inevitable after watching what happened in Rhodesia/Zimbabwae - watching the breadbasket of Africa turn into Robert Mugabe's personal kingdom killed any idea of peaceful transition.
Seeing as how it was South African special forces that assassinated Ian Smith (for fear that he might inspire Natal to try its own UDI) I'll say that it was inevitable far earlier. All Mugabe and the Green Leader raid on Pretoria did was make the dominos fall faster.

Many parties in Azania want to keep China at arms length. This ranges from novel reasons like fears of neo-colonialism to the fringe black supremacist parties shrieking about "yellow khoisan mutants". To an extent they've been backing off a bit from China less do to noble reasons and do too China making investments in the Cape Republic which do to the whole libertarian thing is an ideological rival. And of course the Black-Supremacist bothered on about the Cape Coloureds coming to buy the whole continent. Chinese investment is too valuable to get rid of completely.

OOC: I don't know Afrikaans and at this point every ones used the name so lets just assume some ingsoc ideological bullshit.
In our timeline, how come South Africa wasn't a safe haven for escaped Nazis? I would think that their ideology of white supremacy would have been welcomed in South Africa in the late 1940's. Instead so many of them like Adolf Eichmann, Klaus Barbie and Josepf Mengele went to South America. Mengele was never caught while Eichmann and Barbie would be captured years later.
I think the fact that in world war 2 they fought against nazis. So the nazis in turn thought to not go to a country that shortly after the war still was part of the commonwealth.
