To this day, there are still hostilities toward the British for their actions during the anglo-boer war. There is a simmering hostility by the Afrikans speaking whites against the English speaking white. They estimated 27,000 children and women were killed due to the poor hygene, lack of food and basic materials of the camps.

The UK government has never apologized for their acts during the Anglo-Boer War.
I can understand and empathize with this hostile feeling, from everything I've read about the conflict. It is a shame that with all the effort Britain put into the continuance of the Commonwealth that more efforts were not made to heal old wounds.
