Yes, Afrikaners antecedents were boers.
The Dutch settlers called themselves Voortrekkers
Yes, the boers were of Dutch ancestry.
The Afrikaners were the people who had moved to Africa. they were the white people who had started the Apartheid.
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

Africa.
No. Afrikaners are Boers, South Africans of Dutch ancestry. Afrikaans is their language.
Peoples who had come from Africa are called Afrikaners were descendants of Boers who in turn were descendants of Dutch settlers who come from Holland
There is a difference between the Boers and the Afrikaners. People tend to place them together however they are not the same. In the 1830 the Boers wanted to get away from the British and started the "Great Trek" into the rest of what is today South Africa. The Afrikaners did not join the trek and stayed on in the Cape with the British. This being why when the Boers settled in Transvaal and the Orange Free State, they were called Boer Republics not Afrikaner Republics. For political reasons people tend to place the two together today.
Yes we do _________________ Now days Boers are called Afrikaners. Boer technically just means farmer in Dutch because the first Boers were farmers.
South Africa's National Party was a political group that consisted mostly of Afrikaners descendants of Dutch white South Africans also known as Boers.
Not only Afrikaners but Boers and English all white people in South Africa thousands of white people is murdered on farms and in cities all over South Africa
They were called Boers, this translates as 'farmers' The Dutch settlers in South Africa were also known as Afrikaners
The British won the Boer War against the Afrikaners (Boers) in 1902, after the Boers surrendered because at that point already more than 28000 of they're women and children died in Brittish concentration camps.
