Afrikaans is actually a language and not a group of people. The group of people speaking Afrikaans are called Afrikaners.
Afrikaans is based on Dutch, which was spoken by the Dutch settlers (once known as "Boers" -- which means "farmers" in Afrikaans -- who lived in South Africa. Afrikaans was initially known as "Kitchen Dutch." Which means that the Afrikaners come from the Continent of Europe.
The afrikaans language is diverted from 16th ans 17th century Dutch. It's currently spoken in southern Africa (especially South Africa) by white and coloured people. It was formed due to isolation from the Netherlands, therefore giving it time to develop it's own unique language.
