Afrikaans is Groot turns to its audience for financial support as sponsors cut ties over Steve Hofmeyr's involvementAfter its main sponsor, MTN and Toyota, cut ties with Afrikaans is Groot (AIG) the local music concert is having to turn to its audience members for financial support. 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...
