Well they are basically the same people, I should know, because I am an Afrikaner (I'm white, from European descent, and I speak Afrikaans) my uncle is a Boer(Also white, also from European descent and also speaks Afrikaans) and we carry the same surname(last name). "Boer" means farmer in Afrikaans/Dutch. So if you are like me and you farm, you would call yourself a Boer, if you don't farm and live in the city, you would call yourself an Afrikaner. But it's very common for us that don't farm to also call ourselves Boers, and for the farmers to call themselves Afrikaners. THERE IS ACTUALLY NO DIFFERENCE. Both names refer to people from European descent(mostly Dutch, but also French and German) living in Southern Africa, and speaking the Afrikaans language(derived from Dutch but also influenced by French, German and indigenous languages)
Hope this helps. 20-12-2010

∙ 14y agoThe Afrikaners and Boers is a referral to the same group of people. In the South African context the description Afrikaners is labeled to white Afrikaans speaking people. The description "Boers" is a reference to same group but with an added reference to their general profession in times gone by which was farmers "boere" in the Afrikaans language.
