His mother is CANADIAN.

if a child is born in south africa to a Canadian mother and a South African father, is the child considered to ba an anchor baby?

No—not in the usual sense of the term. “Anchor baby” is a pejorative label generally used for a child born in a country to noncitizen parents, supposedly to help the parents gain immigration or citizenship benefits. Here, the father is South African, and a child born in South Africa with a South African parent is generally a South African citizen by birth. The child may also qualify for Canadian citizenship through the mother, depending on her circumstances and the rules in force when the child was born.
