In Dutch as well. "Afrikaner" refers to South Africans of Dutch ancestry vs. those of British ancestry, I assume because they considered themselves (or were considered by the Brits) African 'natives' or locals, having been there considerably longer than the British and being more adapted to the local land and cultures. They even have a distinct "Afrikaner" dialect/language that differs from Dutch, owing to centuries of separation.

They come from Dutch ancestry. Goes back to the sailing ship trading days.
Really? Afrikaner literally means african in german.
