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.
