Karlien, Bobby van Jaarsveld speak up against farm murders
South African singers are joining the chorus of voices speaking up against attacks and murders on farms.
Karlien and Bobby van Jaarsveld have taken to social media to publicly state their support for the calls to wear black on Monday to show sympathy with the plight of farmers.
The Afrikaans singers are among thousands who will be wearing black on Monday.
Bobby says: “Ek sal more swart dra. Vir elke boer op elke plaas. Vier my pa en ma, familie en vriend wat op plase bly en werk . Vir elke vermoorde persoon in SA wat met bloed betaal het. Vir geregtigheid. Vir liefde. Vir vrede.”
I'll be the one in Black tomorrow.#SaveSa #blackmonday #swartmaandag#stopdiemoorde pic.twitter.com/KJWU2wunnL
