Fred, I cut and pasted this into the above post from the site and then put quotes around it.

Afrikander - a white native of Cape Province who is a descendant of Dutch settlers and who speaks Afrikaans”

When I went back just now to the site, I found your post.

I was looking into Afrikan....tried hitting synonim and antonym and was looking for a African confirmation of non-white= Afrikan. Has it be scrubbed already or just another branch of what I was looking for Afrikan.

Afrikander
1822, “South African native of Du. descent,” from Du. Afrikaner “African,” with intrusive -d- on analogy of Hollander, Englander, etc. (Afrikaner is attested from 1824).
