Original Note:
White settlers first arrived in South Africa in 1652, fleeing religious wars in Europe. These settlers were primarily Dutch, later joined by French Huguenots. Their descendants eventually adopted the identity of *Afrikaners*, a group of indentured servants. https://www.sahistory.org.za/people/jan-van-riebeeck
