White Angolans

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. Until 1975 there was a German-language school in Benguela called the Deutsche Schule Benguela. Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, and White Brazilians also make up the population.

History
Portuguese explorer Diogo Cão was the first European to discover Angola. Most white settlers fled Angola after the end of Portuguese rule. In 2023, a group of eight Mennonite families settled in Angola from a colony in Mexico, near the town of Malanje, becoming the first such settlement on the African continent. The Portuguese shipped many black slaves from Angola to Portuguese Brazil during the Atlantic slave trade. ==Notable White Angolans==
