Definitely an Afrikaaner word. It’s also the name of an elevated bridge in the Kirstenbosch botanical gardens in Cape Town that goes through trees. It looks like and is named after the snake!
The only time I ever saw one of these was as the side exit to our local Zoo. However it was part of the fence and right next to this thing was a gate that could be opened by staff (probably for Accesibility and maintenance reasons). Puting this as the entrance to a cafeteria is just useless…
