Most are of Dutch, British, Portuguese, German, French, and to a lesser extent, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Jewish, or Irish descent. The majority once lived along the Mediterranean coast, South Africa, or in Zimbabwe.The earliest permanent European communities in sub-Saharan Africa were formed at the Cape of Good Hope; Luanda, in Angola, São Tomé Island; and Santiago, Cape Verde through the introduction of Portuguese and Dutch traders or military personnel. Other groups of settlers appeared when France and Great Britain colonized Africa. Before regional decolonization, white Africans may have numbered up to 6 million persons and were represented in every part of the continent, particularly South Africa, South-West Africa, Algeria, Angola, Kenya, and Southern Rhodesia.A voluntary exodus of colonials accompanied most African nations after independence. Portuguese Mozambicans, who numbered about 200,000 in 1975, departed en masse because of economic policies directed against their wealth; they now number fewer than 50,000. In Zimbabwe, white flight was spurred by an aggressive land reform programme introduced by President Robert Mugabe and the resulting economic misfortune. On the other hand, some, including the Belgians in Burundi, were blatantly expelled by post-colonial governments.The African country with the largest white population of European descent both numerically and proportionally is South Africa, at approximately 4.6 million (9.2% of the population). Although since the 1990s there are no longer any states that have white minority rule, whites still hold a substantial ownership of the economy and land in specific states."@en }
