The man he's very racist so let them pull out

Yeah! Being White is a crime né?

His a racist !! and making it very difficult for other afrikaans singers. I'm sure most of the other afrikaans singers don't share his views.

Does this country not have more to be concerned about? Give the man a break. Hell's bells.

Channel24 Oh no... Looks as if the well of racism is drying up. Channel24 FakeNews24! You should have waited for this hahahha Channel24 I guess this is confirmation that the general Afrikaner community agrees with Hofmeyr's opinions? If the organizers would rather approach them rather than drop the artist, its a safe conclusion to arrive at imo...
