The "thirty towns" is in reference to a 2018 study by the Solidariteit trade union in which they noted a natural trend of migration among Boers/Afrikaners to 30 different towns across South Africa.
Anchor towns (or "ankerdorpe") is a term used to describe places that have a high concentration of Afrikaners. Places where they can maintain their language, traditions, and values. These areas typically offer better services, including: municipal, education, health, and cultural. As well as being safer and providing necessary economic opportunities for Afrikaners.
