Another picture of him. He doesn't look British really, more like a typical Afrikaner:

Afrikaners have substantial Huguenot ancestry - possibly at least 20%. They were quickly Dutchified in South Africa - I think within one generation:

I´ve found this link


The legacy of the Huguenots was however far reaching. Today thousands of their proud descendants carry with dignity surnames of which the spelling is unchanged from the original, such as De Villiers, Malan, Du Toit, Du Plessis, Du Preez and Malherbe; the spelling of others were localised, such as Viljoen, Cronjé, Pienaar, Retief and Senekal. Certain first names which the Huguenots brought with them are poplular amongst their descendants, especially male christian names such as Francois, Pierre, Etienne, Jacques and Louis. Research has shown that the contribution of the Huguenot genes to the Afrikaner people amounts to some 24%. Their descendants are proud of ancestors who sacrificed a great deal - even their country of birth - and were willing to suffer personally for their religious convictions.

I think all white Afrikers have french ancestry to varying degrees, it's in the gene pool. You don't have to have a french surname to say you have French ancestry in South Africa. It's a given that an Afrikaner has Dutch, French and German in them.
