    She is likely mixed with black because majority of white Afrikaner are mixed but are racist. Because if the Afrikaner like the Dutch, German and French came from the start who would their mixed with since there were no white women negro women. It has been prove that white Afrikaner are actually mixed with black and over time the black blood became less as more whites started to come to South Africa true story look it up.

    People’s hair often gets darker as they get older. I don’t think she’s a natural blond even if she was as a kid but she looks good either way.
