Why hasn’t Die Stem been tossed into the dustbin of history yet?Newsletter| There is little difference between the old flag and the old anthem. What would happen if we were to toss the Die Stem section entirely? Those it would anger would soon get over it, writes NickiGules NickiGules So now you are going after KurtDarren. Is SteveHofmeyr no longer entertainment enough? NickiGules Kurt Darren f*cks up Anthem therefore all the 'white parts' must be cut out but also it is completely virtuous to not sing the Afrikaans & English parts. And the strange hypocrisy doesn't stop there. What a rag of an article this is. NickiGules Just give the Afrikaaner their own state and be done with it. It's very clear that it's a culture not welcomed in South Africa. So sad that they were the primary architects of this place... The lack of gratitude is astounding.
