To be honest I think Steve Hofmeyer is a down right Poes! All his rants in social networks and every where else he's managed to have his two cents published smirks of racism, over and over again. This time he's use Kaffir in his latest song, he justifies it by saying that its being used in a certain context, bare in mind that this song is dedicated to the dead AWB leader Eugene Terblanche. More after the jump:
Steve Hofmeyr has used the dreaded "k" word in a new song he has written - dedicated to murdered AWB leader Eugene Terre’Blanche.
"My management said: 'Don't!'. My media spokesperson said: 'Please, just not that'. My lawyer said: 'Oh no, not again'."
But despite all the warnings, the singer decided to once again do something controversial.
Hofmeyr said that he had ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema in mind. He added that the "k" word was used "in context" in the lyrics.

Whether he was fired up by writer Deon Opperman’s production Tree Aan, currently on at the State Theatre in Pretoria, is anyone's guess.
Hofmeyr, however, refers to the production on his Facebook page and “ons ou klein monumentjie buite Freedom Park, waar hulle weier om die name te plaas van ons seuns wat in daardie 30 jaar tydens weermagopleiding/grensdiens gesterf het”. (Loosley translated as: our small monument outside Freedom Park, where they refuse to put the names of our boys who died over those 30 years during army training and on the border.)
As far as Malema goes, Hofmeyr listed on his website 42 things the youth leader would have to do before he would get any Afrikaners to believe or understand the ANC's babble. He added that it would hurt, but certain things simply had to be said.
Hofmeyr confirmed that "that k-word" does appear in the lyrics of his new song Ons sal dit oorleef, but "in a certain context".
