This is Africaans. The phrase is from a thesis entitled "Die Negende Grensbotsing". I think it translates to The Ninth Frontier Collision, but I'm not sure.

Comment: "Thank you very much for helping me. I like your answer the best since the thesis is about the 9th Cape frontier war with the Xhosa. I do have one more question though. Can grens also mean Frontier? I like The Ninth Frontier Clash a little better. I'm just curious, but you know alot more about Afrikaans than me. Again, thanks alot for your answer. It did help me. Take Care.
Steven"
