It's Zimbabwe in Africa:

While the majority of Zimbabweans speak Shona (75%) and Ndebele (18%) as a first language, standard English is the primary language used in education, government, commerce and media in Zimbabwe, giving it an important role in society. About 90 percent of the population can speak English fluently or at a high level, and it is the native language of White Zimbabweans

Zimbabweans speak fluent english, most Zimbabweans I have worked with are really, like really well educated and I feel so dumb having this Afrikaans accent around their British English
