"Voetsek" is an Afrikaans word, meaning "get lost" or "go away," used as an informal and somewhat offensive exclamation of dismissal or rejection.
I’m sure the South Africans don’t want him back either.

South Africans are calling the 49 "refugees" the Voetsekkers, which is a combination to the word Voortrekker (Afrikaaner version of the pioneers) and Voetsek (Afrikaans for "piss-off!").
The country probably hasn't been this united since it won the Rugby World Cup in 2023.

"Voetsek" is an offensive, informal South African exclamation that means "go away" or "get lost". It's used to dismiss or reject someone or something. For example, you might say "voetsek" to a dog to make it go away.

I’ve always pronounced it as “voetsek”, but yeah, “voertsek” is a bit old-fashioned. It’s not as drastic as the difference between a “laslappie” (a type of quilt) and a “loslappie” (which I daren’t explain)
You forgot two words on your list I love: “dronkverdriet” and “babelaas”, lol.

It’s not actually particularly offensive, but very, very satisfying to say and is really our equivalent of “fuck-right-off”
You can do it in two ways:
Voertsek! = the classic.
T’sek! = the “I do not have time for your shit”

„Others are describing it as “The Great Tsek” – and the group of so-called refugees as the Voetsekkers (“Voetsek” translates loosely as “piss off” in Afrikaans).”
Rates of violent crime in South Africa are high, but do not disproportionately impact white people.
Refugees from places like Sudan and Gaza are not being afforded a similar welcome in the US.

America’s favourite Africans
In the United States, Afrikaner "refugees" were greeted with balloons and speeches by senior officials in the Trump’s administration, which paid for their flight.

I grew up with "ja", "eish", "ag shame", "lekker", "voetsek", "doos", "fokkof" and all the other wonderfully expressive bits of South African English that say in one word what standard English needs three polite little sentences to manage.
So I’m using them more.

The question is even more relevant because Bozell was pro Apartheid when it mattered. The SA Nazi in this video is more than happy with his nomination.
