It means "Africans", and refers to the European people who left the Dutch colony at the Cape to start an independent life in Africa. Though nominally Dutch, they came from all over northern Europe. Many were French, driven out by religious persecution and there were a lot of Germans too. They intermarried with freed slaves as well so there is a lot of African, Indian and Indonesian blood in the average Afrikaner.
In general they currently speak Afrikaans, a simplified form of Dutch or Low German.

∙ 12y agoThe Afrikaners never did come to South Africa. The group of people called Afrikaners, being Afrikaans speaking South Africans, developed in place in South Africa by a merging of the original Dutch settlers with other Europeans, mainly French, German, Danish and English settlers and merging with indigenous African people and slaves from Africa, India and the East Indies.
Many Afrikaners married English speakers and now use English as a home language. They are not strictly Afrikaners, though their roots are in the Afrikaner people.
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.
