Concert. *** (2)*** (3) In its Afrikaans form ("konsert") it is formally used to refer to a musical concert (as in English), but is more widely used in an informal and extended sense, to refer to any type of performance held in a town - perhaps as an equivalent of a variety show. In this sense it may even refer simply to a performance of a play, although mostly of an amateur nature.
This Afrikaans use has become a slightly satirical term in many cases today, in Afrikaans and English - though it has actually also become part of South African English in its more standard meaning.
