The Afrikaner or Africander is an African breed of taurine-indicine cattle in the Sanga group of African cattle.[4][5] It is derived from the cattle of the Khoikhoi (Hottentot) people which were already present in the area of modern South Africa when the Dutch East India Company established the Cape Colony in 1652.[2]: 101
