Explanation:

To determine who the Afrikaners of South Africa were, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Afrikaners are not British colonists; they have Dutch origins, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Afrikaners are not indigenous Africans; they are descendants of European colonists, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Afrikaners are not British soldiers; they have Dutch colonial roots, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: Afrikaners are descendants of Dutch colonists who later had conflicts (including wars) with the British in South Africa. This matches the historical context of Afrikaners.

Answer:

D. Dutch colonists who went to war with the British
