You do realise, of course that New Zealand is rapidly being "colonised" from Sth Africa. Oh, you poor dears! One can only imagine the unholy linguistic offspring which will result from that combination.
I see you already know "braai" (it still sounds better than "barbie" to my partisan ears).
I am told that in Perth (Australia) the locals have complained that when they send their infants to pre-primary school they come home with Sith Effrican accents!
A friend who moved from the Republic in 1967 had a braai at her place a couple of years ago, and of the 30 non-family guests, 28 were doctors! Ouch! That really brings home the reality of the brain drain. (Although there used to be a crack that the flood of emigration was a good thing since it raised the average IQ in both countries.)
