I really don’t know what’s becoming of this country. Since when do we have people who will tell the public and their leaders which songs to sing in public? How much do we have to give up of our own, just to be accepted? South Africans have given up so much in order to be part of the world and it worries me.
A lot has been taken away from South Africans, what belongs to as well as who we are. We good theorists of what an African child is, but we fail to compliment that with action and actually define it in action. Songs about ‘kill the boer’ were sung even after 1994, this is not new. We ignore the exploitation that leads to farmers being killed, and quickly blame it on songs. Men have lost their dignity at their homes, because they simply unable to put bread on the table and leads them in things such as murder and crime. Pardon me; I am not complimenting murder and crime in any way.
Farm labourers are experiencing a lot of exploitation and all we are led to concentrate on is a false impact a song has on the repercussions. South Africans must learn to put politics aside and observe situations from a human perspective.
This required no court cases about the song from the beginning; it required a radical address on the exploitation that is taking place on farm labourers. Beyond anything else it required human moral. This was a deliberate mechanism for us to lose focus from the truth. When a man’s dignity and being is stolen, that requires human, real human. Finish and Klaar.
