The 43-year-old told talk show host Graham Norton that she hopes to teach her daughters, who she adopted as a loan parent, aspects of their South African heritage.
She said: "I have taught them a little Afrikaans, but it's a language filled with very conflicted history.
"I am raising two beautiful proud black African girls and I want them to find themselves and not necessarily push my ancestry on them, but I have taught them two very sweet Afrikaans songs about politeness."
Charlize added that she thought Jackson was a boy until he turned three, saying: "I thought she was a boy, too. Until she looked at me when she was three years old and said: 'I am not a boy!' So there you go! I have two beautiful daughters who, just like any parent, I want to protect and I want to see thrive.
"They were born who they are and exactly where in the world both of them get to find themselves as they grow up, and who they want to be, is not for me to decide.
"My job as a parent is to celebrate them and to love them and to make sure that they have everything they need in order to be what they want to be. And I will do everything in my power for my kids to have that right and to be protected within that."
