Are Afrikaners white people?

Yes, Afrikaners are generally considered white people. They are descendants of Dutch, French Huguenot, and German settlers who arrived in South Africa during the 17th and 18th centuries. Afrikaners primarily speak Afrikaans, a language derived from Dutch, and have a distinct cultural identity within South Africa.

What is the history of early South Africa?

To find out about early south Africa you will want to "Google" "Afrikaners". Afrikaners is the name that some early European settlers that were born in South Africa called themselves. Early South Africa were populated by the Koisan, and Bushmen that inhabited mostly the coastal areas of Southern Africa. The early black tribes migrated from West East and Northern Africa towards the south of Africa in search of better grazing for their cattle . It is a fact that the white "afrikaners" preserved many ancient artifacts in museums dating back thousands of year Afrikaners is not the name of the European settlers, but the offspring of these German Settlers, French Hugenots,and British settlers,- and from them stemmed the name Afrikaners. Voortrekkers were Afrikaner white people born in South Africa, who trekked inland to escape the conditions of oppresion by the British Colonial forces at the Cape of Good Hope and her Colonies, which eventually resulted in war between the Afrikaans speaking Voortrekkers, "Boers" (which means "Farmer" in the Afrikaans language) - Afrikaans is in actual fact the Name of the language the Koisan tribes and Boers started speaking to communicate, which originated from the Dutch language, this name of the language only came for recognition in the late fifties and sixties, when Afrikaners fought for its recognition, Afrikaners being some of the white minority in South Africa. Since early years we were all called South Africans - it is only the conservative Afrikaans speaking South Africans that call themselves Afrikaners.


What belief did apartheid support?
