South African English is lekker!

SA English has a flavour all its own, borrowing freely from Afrikaans - which is similar to Dutch and Flemish - as well as from the country's many African languages, with some words coming from colonial-era Malay and Portuguese immigrants.

abba - Carry a child secured to one's back with a blanket. From the Khoi-San.
amasi (pronounced um-ah-see) - A popular drink of thick sour milk. From the isiZulu. An alternative name is maas.

bakkie (buck-ee) - A pick-up truck.

china - To most people China is the country with the largest population in the world, but to a South African it can mean something entirely different.
