Steve Hofmeyr's New Zealand show cancelled due to expat protests
A concert in New Zealand featuring Steve Hofmeyr as one the headline acts has been cancelled due to expat anger at his involvement. African-European Indaba founder Johan de Villiers spoke to @JacaBreakfast.
Steve Hofmeyr, alongside many other local artists, will be touring Australia and New Zealand with the 'Afrikaans is Lekker' tour later this month.
The tour made headlines recently when the Wellington‚ New Zealand show was cancelled amidst protests from international expat group, African-European Indaba.
We spoke to African-European Indaba founder Johan de Villiers and he said that what Hofmeyr represents is not what the majority of Afrikaans people in South Africa represent.
De Villiers said action by angered individuals has not only been aimed at Hofmeyr, but also organisations like AfriForum.
