Can you hear that? It is the world’s smallest violin playing just for Steve Hofmeyr and that massive chip on his shoulder. In a new song he has written and dedicated to murdered AWB leader Eugene Terre’Blanche, called “Ons Sal Dit Oorleef”, he tackles the issue of white people being oppressed in South Africa. He also throws in the k-word. Yes, that specific one.
‘My management said: ‘Don’t!’ My media spokesperson said: ‘Please, just not that’. My lawyer said: ‘Oh no, not again’.
But Steve went ahead and did it anyway.
But before you get too upset over this, keep in mind that Steve did urge people to see the “k” word as used “in context” in the song. So that basically makes it ok, mmmkay?
Here it is – if you are not familiar with DIE TAAL, then ask Jan, Sarie or Koos in the office to help out.
Ons sal dit oorleef – Steve Hofmeyr
“Daar’s ‘n land en ‘n volk in een taal gedoop
Met gebede en buskruit en bloed gekoop
Wat weer en weer van sy knie af moet streef
Ons sal dit oorleef…Uit die kake van oormag deur die vuur op ons werf
Staan die engele by ons vroue en die kinders wat sterf
Elke grafsteen een standbeeld vir die wat bly leef
Ons sal dit oorleef…My hart klop toktokkie waar hy breek vir my volk
Voor die kakie kanon of die kafir se dolk
Dit maak nie meer saak nie waar ons ons begeef
Ons sal dit oorleef…Ek lig my oë tot die berge op
Waar sal my hulp tog vandaan kan kom
Ag my God jou woorde lê deur my geweef
Ons sal dit oorleef…Ek staan vandag op jou plaas ou vriend
Daar hang stof oor die stilte sovêr ek kan sien
Maar die geeste van gister sal more herleef
Ons sal dit oorleef
