AFRIKANERS DECLARE BORDERS FOR THEIR STATE

More than 5,000 white extremists dressed in khaki and packing guns burned the flag of the new South Africa and swore Saturday to fight for an independent whites-only state.

They proclaimed Pretoria the capital of the white "volkstaat" and unveiled a map defining its borders, which would encompass two of South Africa's four provinces, the Transvaal and Orange Free State, plus part of Natal to provide a corridor to the Indian Ocean.
