What language does Afrikaans come from?
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.

What were the Dutch colonists called in South Africa?
There is a flaw in the question, because the Afrikaners did not have Dutch male progenitors only, but actually even more from the Lowlands in Northern Germany, as well as a number of French Huguenots. Most came to the Cape to work for the Dutch East Indian Company that had a "halfway house" there, to call it such, for ships sailing between the Netherlands and "India" (or the East). Many of the Europeans decided to stay on as farmers -- and their descendants eventually became what is still known today as Afrikaners. Because the everyday languages of the Dutch and the people of the German Lowlands were virtually the same (with only dialectical differences) the Dutch and Germans had little difficulty in understanding each other and the vernacular merged into what is called Afrikaans. The French spoken by the smaller number of French quickly died out.
