Even if the purpose of this video is to show the South African English accent as it is when polluted with the Afrikaans accent, this is not a good clip to do that. Casper is a comedian and a master of accents. In this clip he is purposely mocking with a presenter from the learning channel, so his accent is feigned.
I'm a South African as well and English isn't Casper de Vries's 1st language. Plus, he's a comedian and pull pranks on other people that's why sound so 'flat'.
This is NOT a good example of South African English because Casper De Vries is a native Afrikaans speaker and not a native English Speaker so his accent is markedly tinged with an Afrikaans accent.
