People with my dialect were warned not to speak about coffee as we pronounce it "kaffi" under the south African Fifa wc

Oh, I didn't know that. I always thought it was something blatantly racist. Though I suppose it makes sense seeing how strongly religious S. Africans are, at least that is what my impressions are.

Yes, both the Israeli IAI Kfir C1 (Yong Lion) and South African Atlas Cheetah are reversed engineered French Mirage III/V's, wich are fighter/bombers. How ever both nations have also used them effectivly as pure fighters as well. The Kfir C1 was primarily used as an interceptor w/Sidewinder, Shafrir or Python AAM's, while the Nesher (Vulture) was used as an attack aircraft. The Atlas Cheetah C was used as an interceptor w/V3 Kukri AAM,s and V4 Darter BVR's, the Cheetah D was an attack version and the Cheetah R was the Reccon version. With a practice test between the Cheetah C and F-15 at RAF Lakenheath, the results ended in a tie and the Ceetah D proved superior to the F-16 Block 50.
