Did anyone find out if her father is Cape Coloured? Or is he another Afrikaner?
Her father is obviously not just Afrikaner, he definitely has recent South Asian and/or Khoisan ancestry.
I asked if this was confirmed, though. I guess it’s a no.
There’s no documented genealogy of her father, anyway he has definitely recent non European ancestry.
Change the title to Demi-Leigh Tebow, as she is now married.
She is listed in Wikipedia and other sites as “Cape Coloured”.
Her father has a sort of “white-passing” look to me: https://www.tyi.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/95896926.jpg

I was finally able to trace her maternal ancestry, but not yet her paternal ancestry.
Demi-Leigh’s maternal grandfather was Willem Andries Nel (the son of Willem Andries Nel and Andrea Stefina Viljoen). Demi-Leigh’s grandfather Willem was born in Orange Free State (now Free State). Demi-Leigh’s great-grandfather Willem was the son of Willem Andries Nel, who was killed during the Second Boer War, and of Anna Helena Louisa Potgieter.
Demi-Leigh’s maternal grandmother was Beatrice Mulder (the daughter of Jacobus Munro Mulder and Alberta Maria Streso). Beatrice was born in Cape Province. Alberta was the daughter of Pieter Anthonie Streso and Petronella Gertruida Neveling. Pieter’s paternal great-great-grandfather, Andriy Strezov (later Andreas Stresau/Stresow), was a Ukrainian soldier, from Berlyn, Lviv Oblast.
Here’s her ethnicity so far: Afrikaner [Dutch (including Frisian), French, German, small amount of Belgian (Flemish)], 1/256 Ukrainian, as well as remote African, Chinese, English, Indian, Indonesian (including Sumbawa), Malagasy, Norwegian

according to WIkitree, Andries Streeso was from Berlin, Germany.
This is her 3d great-grandfather’s genealogy (through his sister) – https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Streso-Family-Tree-3
Beatrice was born in Port Elizabeth, Cape Province (now Eastern Cape Province).
it should be changed to
* possibly Cape Coloured (father)
* Afrikaner (mother)
or at least cited in the profile.

Her father remarried to a Nita Peters if that helps you at all, Manila.
