I wasn't sure my memory would serve, so here are some google facts for
Dutch:

1.540.000 for rundvlees
22.000 for rundsvlees (Flemish?)
2.280 for rundervlees
152 for rindvlees
0 for rindervlees

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runderen
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runderpest

which probably means that Afrikaans took the word from some Dutch dialect.
