We are actually more german than dutch even though our language is a flat dutch or similar to the german slang of northern Germany (Hartsberg Area).
The our german ancestors went to the Netherlands to find a job, because of a war in there own country. There they was employed by the East Indian Shipping company, which opened a new outpost on the tip of Africa to give fresh supplies to their ships en-route to the East.
The words on the back of the busses are "STAMP RUIT UIT" which means "push window out " directly translated.
In afrikaans the word lekker can be used for anything not just food and you were correct it nice.
