I'm not the best at untangling South African history, and Wikipedia is faaaar from being a sound source, but it's mentioned there that president Paul Kruger of the Transvaal met with the Dutch royal family in 1884 while on a European tour. He even brought back Dutch officials back to his south african state to, as Wikipedia puts it "...a means to strengthen the Boer identity and keep the Transvaal "Dutch"." So as far as uitlanders are seen, it seems that some of the Afrikaners considered the Dutch as less of a cultural danger.
So let's butterfly Cecil Rhodes and his cohorts' ambitions for the moment and ask: can the Boer republics survive through encouraging Dutch immigration to bolster their nations? Could that be done? Could the Afrikaners accept the Dutch as a part of their cultural fabric, or are the two just too distant to click together?
