The Afrikaner/Boer has roots in Africa as deep as our roots in North America. The Dutch who settled that land in the 17th century became the Afrikaners of today. Why would a nation want to leave its' homeland? That fact is what most Americans don't understand about Southern Africa. The vast majority of them won't leave even if they're given the chance. Not a flame, just an attempt at clarifying what the Afrikaner is all about.
Red -- thanks for a good article.
True, and according to the two military men in the article, the Boers haven't yet been heard from. They could be the future of South Africa still, it would appear.
Still true in 2011.
