I don't think modern-day Boers (Afrikaaners) would agree with you that that they no longer exists. They have been in Africa since the 1600s, and still exist as a people.
They were defeated by the British, but later, through politics, they gained control of the South African government.
About cities: they built lots of them. Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Bloemfontein, just to name a few.
