I'm presuming you mean an accent to English? In that case the preffered (or proper) accent is British English. The actual accent of the speaker is determined by his home language (there are 11 official languages in South Africa). If you want to see a good example of an accent and manner of speaking English in South Africa, watch the movie Blood Diamond. Leonardo Di Caprio does a very good Afrikaans accent of English in the movie, which is typical in South Africa.

What accent sounds like Australian?

New Zealand's accent sounds the closest to Australian through there are a few differences. Its much the same as a Canadian accent sound fairly similar to an American one. Though in some states of Australia, such as South Australia it is said that their accent can sometimes sound British. This may be because South Australia was settled differently from other states and has more English ancestry than Irish. Answer The NZ accent sounds similar to Australian only to non-Australians. To Australians it sounds very different.
