It's a succulent plant with beautiful impressive flowers that grows in South Africa. The word 'kaffir' however, is a derogatory name for a black person, the South African equivalent of the 'n-word'. The proper name for the plant is either Clivia or Bush Lily.

WHAT DOES keffer mean southafricaans?

Do you mean Kaffir? Historically it is derived from an Arabic word used by Arab and Somali traders that refers to non-Muslim, non-believers in South Africa. Also historically used by the Boer trek farmers to describe a person not converted to Christianity. Another spelling of a similar word in Dutch means Bug. However in the 20th Century the current derogatory meaning of the word as pertains to South Africans that was used during Apartheid as a racial slur towards the native black people not to different from the word Ni**er when applied to US Black people. Just as the "N" word denotes the word Ni**er, the "K" word denotes the word Kaffir. The word Kaffir was also used Namibia much the same way. Another word Kaffir-boetie, or Kaffir brother, is used as a derogatory slur towards white people who fraternized with or sympathized with the cause of the black people.
