President Jacob Zuma appeared touched by the reception he received from residents of Danville, Pretoria West, on Thursday.
He was showing them around their new homes as part of the launch of the new, low-cost housing settlement.
"This is what we want to see... [a situation] where no one feels like they are orphans in a country of their own," he told residents.
"It is only here that I see a mixed crowd with different races... as one. It is with ordinary people that this feeling of oneness exists."
The settlement would provide homes for low-income black and white families and was being launched to mark Mandela Day, the presidency said on Wednesday.
