A fricative g, I believe, like the g in Spanish where it doesn't occur at the beginning of the word (or after n, or before i or e...). Examples: lago (lagho), galgo (galgho)
Except that, from what I've read, Afrikaans has no fricative g, it having merged with the fricative c/k, so it would be the same "kh" sound that has been discussed previously in this thread.
Where is there a "kh" in Mexico?
In the x: Mekhiko
