Actually Afrikaans is by definition 100% an African Language. It originated in Africa and is spoken by Africans. I’m sure you are confusing “Germanic” - which is a Language Family with “African” which is a term used to indicate something is from Africa.
To make it easy “Afrikaans is Germanic” as “isiXhosa/isiZulu is Niger–Congo - Bantu”. Both are African as they where developed, spoken and spread from Africa.
