White Angolans are descendants of European colonial populations, most significantly from Portugal. The vast majority of white settlers in Angola have been of Portuguese ancestry, both in colonial days and today. Germans and Afrikaners settled in southern parts of Angola, with Germans concentrated in Moçamedes and Benguela and Afrikaners concentrated in Huíla Province. Most Afrikaners and Germans left for Namibia and South Africa by 1975.[2] Until 1975 there was a German-language school in Benguela called the Deutsche Schule Benguela.[3] Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, and White Brazilians also make up the population.[4]
Currently, Whites are a minority ethnic group in Angola, accounting for over 1% of the country's population.[1] The White population usually speaks Portuguese.[5][6][7]
The majority of white Angolans are of Portuguese ancestry. Some are of German and Dutch stock.[8]
