White Angolans (Portuguese: Angolanos Brancos) 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]
