If you weren’t allergic to Google you would have learned that the South African word was picked up from Arabic. So yeah, it is relevant.

Maybe people don’t spoon feed you explanations because you’re rude even to the people who try to explain.

No, the fringe usage half a globe away still doesn't make it relevant if I'm asking how some things are called in a Middle-Eastern language. Likewise, the Czech word "Polák" for a citizen of Poland with no alternative to it in that language does not become suddenly offensive or inappropriate just because the cognate "Polack" happens to be offensive in the US. And as one can clearly see, I'm not even being rude to people with inconsequential segues.
