His About gives his parents as Isaac Le Roux (1615-1687) and Jehanne Bourdon (1634-1672) NOT
Pierre le Roux & Anne Bourdon ?
"Jean Le Roux was born on 16 November 1666 in the town of Mer in Orleanais, France. His Parents were Isaac Le Roux (1615-1687) and Jehanne Bourdon (1634-1672) of the farm Pommegorge situated between Mer and Aunay in France. "
The only 2 i found on geneanet in mer is a source from geni lol...and another without sources.
So since geneanet goes very far back in time and based mostly on regional online archives or church archives up until 1630, chances are the le Roux were from Brittany and maybe the ones born in Kent and London are the ones you are looking for, fleeing france because they were protestants.

The contents of Gabriel's baptism certificate are given in Dr. Willem le Roux's booklet "Om Aan-Proux "(1988) and also in" De Families Le Roux in SA "(1991). It confirms that Gabriel was baptized in Blois on Sunday, July 28, 1669, after being born three days earlier. However, the place of birth is not reported in the certificate.
According to Dr. Willem le Roux's research Gabriel's father Pierre le Roux was, at one stage, "Sergeant de la Justice" on the estate of Cour-Cheverny, a few kilometers south-east of Blois. More recent research suggests that Pierre was indeed "maire" (mayor) of Cour-Cheverny when he left that place in 1672."
That's good, because I've spent two days piecing together the connections :-) I've created a Le Roux family project here - https://www.geni.com/projects/Le-Roux-Genealogy-of-South-Africa/48730. I'll invite you :-)
Read this article - https://sites.google.com/site/lerouxfamiliebond/stamouers/the-le-ro... - he places Isaac.
It is convincing because the documentation is very much all there and links the family together - who signed at whose wedding; who was guardian of whose orphan children etc - until it arrives at the cousins who travel to SA on the same ship together. I think if the Huguenot society is publishing it, they're pretty certain it's the best info we have, too.
ie On 31 Dec 1687 Jean & Gabriel le Roux, Philippe Foucher & Anne Souchay, with Estienne Bruere embarked together on the VOC ship Voorschoten to settle at the Cape of Good Hope.
The le Roux brothers & Philippe Foucher were 2nd cousins.
Philippe Foucher & Estienne Bruere were second cousins.
Anne Souchay was the sister of the le Roux brother's sister in law.
They all became progenitors of SA lines.

Gillian Donna Richardson says about Jean le Roux, SV/PROG 1
His second wife is listed as Marie Potet who was born in 1636, which makes her 31 years older than him - I'm wondering if that is correct?
Family search has a profile for a Jean Roux, also married to Marie Potet https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LB41-L9J This Jean Roux has parents Izaac Le Roux and Jeanne Bourdon
I feel like there might be a mix-up here?
