Depends on the South African. We have 11 official languages. One of them is English. Many English-speaking Saffers - like myself - have British parents and therefore speak like our parents.

I Don't Know!
It's Hard For Me To Say.
My Ears Are Even Different From Most. I'm An American!
And Some People Here Always Seem To Ask Me What Country Am I From. Or What State? Because Of My Voice!

Kanda, there are hundreds of South African accents, it also depends very much on which area you live, what your mother tongue is and, as Eleg said, where you were educated
