British VS South African accents

I'm looking for a comparison of British and South African sounds files, someone said I sound like I have a South African accent.

edu/~idea (The Dialects of English Archive) I've heard many different South African accents though. All beautiful in their own way. I've heard some that sound like British RP, some that sound Dutch (Afrikaner), some that sound vaguely Australasian, and the accent of the African communities (which resembles the accent of the Caribbean islands to my ear, of course I may be off on that one).
