With more than thirty-five indigenous languages of which eleven are official languages South Africa is a hub of diversity with a range of accents to choose from.

If you are trying to create a sense of mystery or intrigue then having a strong South African accent might be just the thing for you. 

English - South Africa voice over info

South Africa was colonised by both the British and the Dutch which led to the general use of both English [Britain] and Afrikaans which was derived from Dutch [Netherlands]. Add to this the indigenous languages of the first nation people as well as a mix of other African languages and there certainly are a lot to choose from.

Where does English - South Africa come from?

South Africa is a country on the southernmost tip of the African continent with close to 58 million people. It also contains one of only three enclaved countries [country within a country] in Lesotho as well as containing the landlocked country of Swaziland which also shares a border with Mozambique to the northeast. South Africa comprises four main race groups known as white, black, coloured and indian and actually boasts the largest indian population outside of India. 

How many people speak English with a South African accent?

"South Africa is divided into nine different provinces. The larger provinces are known for having their own particular twang on the accent. Kwazulu-Natal speakers for example tend to pronounce their 'i' sound like a 'u' so "I hit my hip" would sound more like "i hut my hup". The Western Cape English would be closer to a British accent in the Southern Suburbs and a heavier Dutch-sounding accent in the Northern suburbs. This gets even deeper when you head to the Free State Province. 

Gauteng in the North is more of a mix of people from around the country and so the accents tend to melt a little more into one, although in rich white suburbs there is what is known as the 'kugel' who speaks with a very nasally snobbishness similar to the character Cher in 'Clueless'."

How many English accents are there in South Africa?

While many have found the South African accent difficult to mimic, perhaps one of the easiest ways would be to listen to Dutch and then to try and speak English with that accent. It is a lot harder around the edges than British and Australian which it sometimes gets confused with despite being quite distinct. 

How to recognize an English - South Africa voice over?

South Africans have often been portrayed as the villains [Lethal Weapon 2, Avengers End Game] and the mystery they add in being hard to identify can provide some fun entertainment. 

When to use an English - South Africa voice over?

Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue in Avengers and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar in Invictus are probably the closest in terms of nailing the South African accent. But you will do best to search for some local South Africans and try and learn it directly from them.
