    Phenotype, plus who's the "Boer," "Greek," "Portuguese," and/or "Engelsman" (and everyone in between!)?

    And continuing...



    Tenor Ge Korsten. Popular in his field (more well known than Brasch) and later became a relatively well-known actor in a soap opera in the early 90s. Excellent voice (imo, not versed in opera even though I like a lot of theatrical Afrikaans music).

    Pop singer Rina Hugo. Famous in the 70s, 80s, 90s and still relatively popular today I believe. Can't say I listen to her, but from the one song I KNOW, she's talented at least.

    And lastly, these images of...


    A woman scanning a magazine and her flight captain helping there for whatever reason taken from a 1960 SAA promotional image. The captain looks quite seasoned and the woman looks friendly enough.

    Musician Fred Wooldridge. Known in the 60s for some popular at the time boeremusiek tunes. Combined black South African street music known as the "kwela" with traditional Afrikaans instrumental music (aka boeremusiek). "Pennieflute Kwela" is a rather catchy tune.

    Tony Maggs has a face that looks heavily Khoi influenced:



    By a very big coincidence, that 5% average Khoi DNA became extremely visible in his face

    In general, they do not look American to me. In general, they would look strange or oddly French to me.

    A lot of Afrikaners (and by extension, other South African European-descended people) have French Huguenot ancestry, which is why they may appear French-looking. Many Afrikaners have distant SSA ancestry (and by extension.....) and the different historical situation in Southern Africa will account for why they appear "not-American looking" imo.

    I was wondering why, for a person with the surname "Maggs," and "O'Connell," he didn't look like either! He didn't even look Dutch or French either...

    This would imply that he had Afrikaner ancestry, certainly?
