As a student of the history of South Africa that admittedly does not understand this language, I am still impressed to hear the voice of a man so influential in history, so long past. This was the man that led the Boers to a small victory well over 100 years ago at Modderfontein. Thank you for posting this.

He is the greatest traitor to the AfrikanerNation. Remember the true heros,the Ossewa Brandwag.

yes, its Afrikaans. He spoke 'Malmesbury Afrikaans', a type of dialect. It is common in the Riebeeck-West region where he was born. This dialect is characterised by an uvular trill (similar to the French usage in fact). I think that is why its sounds like Afrikaans with a Dutch accent.

Is this Dutch or Afrikaans? I know this isn't Dutch, but it sounds different from the afrikaans accent of today. I know he studied Dutch in school and that it was still spoken in ZA during his days. It seems like Afrikaans being spoken with a more Dutch accent than usual.
