You know what generally the south African accent sounds like right?

I did link to an article that explained it on wikipedia, though honestly I suspect she's long lost it the full extent. A lot of singers do loose their local accent and become generalized as their career goes on for one reason or another. Local accents aren't always favoured over certain standard ones.
