Dutch

The article mentions the word "Dutch" a number of times. Most of the times (I think) this word is used for inhabitants of the Cape (or of Transvaal or Orange-Free State) who use Afrikaans as their first language. It think thy should be called Africaner in stead of Dutch. Between 1870 - 1899 there is not mutch of a link left between the Afrikaanders and the inhabitants of the Kingdom of the Netherlands; the Dutch so it is incorrect to use the word Dutch.
