I never met any Portuguese in South Africa so I don't know, but I know that there are plenty!
Most non-Afrikaner whites prefer to speak English, especially in the cosmopolitan cities,
but whites of all nationalities get along fine in rural areas (by necessity) regardless of their preferred language.
South Africa accepted many Portuguese colonial refugees as they accepted whites from Rhodesia and elsewhere.
My stepfather was a pilot and often flew to Portuguese Angola and Mozambique in the 1970s!
I see the Portuguese influence in names, such as Saldanha Bay, or Cape Agulhas (the southernmost point in Africa),
or the Vasco da Gama cross near the Cape of Good Hope, all of which I visited. There is also a Bartolomeu Dias cross somewhere.
The most famous Portuguese South African thing is Nando's, the Portuguese grilled chicken fast-food chain.
The famous Portuguese South African is Maria Ramos, one of the most powerful bankers and businesswomen,
a member of the globalist white elite, visitor to Davos, etc. She was the Treasury director, married to the Finance Minister.
My household is actually voting tomorrow at the South African embassy (we are expatriates) for our parliamentary elections.
Whites are only 7% of the population and there is white solidarity in general,
the apartheid-era National Party disappeared in the 1990s,
now I think that about 90% of whites vote for the Democratic Alliance (DA),
which was the liberal leftist Jewish anti-apartheid party pre-1994.
The party also has coloured and black supporters,
but seems capped at 25% support nationally, we'll see what happens this year.
Post-apartheid, the party is centrist neo-liberal globalist,
usually has Jewish leadership and is closely connected to Soros and the NGOs.
Recently the party has moved somewhat to the right, which is encouraging.
But the party and the white elite does not support Cape independence, which most Cape residents support.
The remaining whites mostly support the Freedom Front Plus,
which wants tribal autonomy for whites and coloureds in South Africa.
Their supporters are mostly white and rural, some right-wing suburban voters, and increasing numbers of coloureds.
Their support is typically around 1% nationally, has a few seats in parliament,
yet doubled to 2% in 2019 and can go higher this year.
There are also other small parties supporting Cape independence.
