KAFFIR. Of
Arabic origin. Although
later considered an offensive term for a black person, especially in South
Africa, this was first a neutral term for a black southern African
person.
... The Kaffirs sometimes call
themselves Amakafula. This name is evidently a corruption of Kaffir
(Unbeliever or Infidel), the term applied by the Mahometans to those who
are not of their faith... (Fifty Years of the History of the Republic
in South Africa (1795-1845), Voigt, 1899)
