It proves once again that only Anglos created majority pure white countries.
It seems that even in the USA and Canada, among French colonists, it's common, respectively, for their descendants to score SSA and Amerindian.
The Boers, despite being Euro looking, score an average of 5% non-Euro genes.

ABSTRACT 36The Afrikaner population of South Africa are the descendants of European colonists who started 37to colonize the Cape of Good Hope in the 1600’s. In the early days of the colony, mixed unions 38between European males and non-European females gave rise to admixed children who later 39became incorporated into either the Afrikaner or the “Coloured" populations of South Africa. 40Ancestry, social class, culture, sex ratio and geographic structure affected admixture patterns and 41caused different ancestry and admixture patterns in Afrikaner and Coloured populations. The 42Afrikaner population has a predominant European composition, whereas the Coloured population 43has more diverse ancestries. Genealogical records estimated the non-European contributions into 44the Afrikaners to 5.5%-7.2%. To investigate the genetic ancestry of the Afrikaner population today 45(11-13 generations after initial colonization) we genotyped ~5 million genome-wide markers in 77 46Afrikaner individuals and compared their genotypes to populations across the world to determine 47parental source populations and admixture proportions. We found that the majority of Afrikaner 48ancestry (average 95.3%) came from European populations (specifically northwestern European 49populations), but that almost all Afrikaners had admixture from non-Europeans. The non-European 50admixture originated mostly from people who were brought to South Africa as slaves and, to a 51lesser extent, from local Khoe-San groups. Furthermore, despite a potentially small founding 52population, there is no sign of a recent bottleneck in the Afrikaner compared to other European 53populations. Admixture among diverse groups during early colonial times might have 54counterbalanced the effects of a founding population with a small census size.
