Thank God we have Steve, what other whites are voicing their opinions in SA?
Hellen Zille!!! Please she is busy promosing more BEE/AA. Who else? Who is speaking up about the ANC’s policies to lie and use apartheid as a continual excuse?

ANCYL you bunch of losers, what did you do to the group singing about burning farms… It was art you said……
What did you do to Juilius Malema when he sang kill the farmer kill the Boer? It was a struggle song and part of your heritage you said.
What did you do when Zuma sang kill the farmer kill the Boer? you cheered him on.
What did you do when Mandela sang Kill the farmer kill the Boer? You went ballistic and made as if he was the second coming of Christ.
Steve Hofmeyer sing a beautiful poem, not instigating any violence not instigating racial tension, but you hypocrites make it out to be hate speech. From what planet do you come?

We cannot and will never bow to this oppression of our culture and freedom of expression in our mother tongue! None of the organizers or sponsors can stop us from living and breathing our culture! One never hear these assholes complain when they make money out of Afrikaans artists or out of us individuals!
