  • BLIND: Netherlands Restaurant Cancels Steve Hofmeyr Gig Because He Is A White Supremacist

    You might think that your dedicated following in your small world makes what you think right, but bro, going international you’re gonna get one hectic wake up call (unless you go hang out with some neo-Nazis, then you’re safe).

    A restaurant in the Netherlands gave Steve Hofmeyr the boot over his political opinions. How’s this: he was set to speak at Cafe Dudok about the future of Afrikaners in South Africa.

    That came to an end when a member of the African-European Indaba, Johan de Villiers, alerted the restaurant to Steve’s alleged racist comments from the past via an open Facebook message:

    Why does Cafe Dudok welcome South African singer, Steve Hofmeyr in their venue? Do you know he called a well-known white supremacist in South Africa a “cultural icon” and that he blamed Apartheid on South African black people? Did you know that he shared another podium with another white supremacist in 2015? Did you know he was banned from many venues and that sponsors walked away from him.

    The restaurant replied, saying it always “took a stance against any form of discrimination or racism.”

    Johan then thanked other South Africans who stood up in solidarity after the victory:

    My post on their FB-page was supported by other South Africans. Well done, Dudok and all of those in support! Once again he will have to look for an alternative venue at the last minute, like last year in Amersfoort, when his concert was cancelled.

    Of course, Steve had something to say on the matter:

    Om my ‘n ‘rassis’ of ‘ekstreemregs’ te noem is ‘n cheap shot en slegs ‘n tydelike manier om vryspraak te fnuik en ‘n paar mense op hol te sit.

    (To call me a ‘racist’ or ‘far right’ is a cheap shot and simply a temporary way to prevent freedom of speech and to get a few people excited.)

    Oh, Steve, I think you’re missing the point. How can you speak about the future of Afrikaners in South Africa, when you currently only represent a small portion of them?
