It sounds to me almost like Norwegian Au.

Subject: Phonology, Afr /ui/ to /ai/

Elsie and Ingmar (and others) contributed on this topic.

In my limited experience, there was (or maybe even still is in some social
circles),  the tendency for Afr /ui/ to be pronounced as /y/.
Buite would become byte, huis => hys etc. This was by and large regarded as
either laziness or just "poor breeding/education".  Could /ui/ to /ai/  not
be interpreted as  an  over correction or perhaps even an affectation in an
attempt to sound  correct/educated? What say the clever people?

Cheers
Rudi Vari
