‘I Can Trace My Roots Back In SA Further Than Julius Malema,’ Says Steve Hofmeyr

Controversial Afrikaans singer Steve Hofmeyr does a great job living up to his status. Yup, he done said it again. ‘I can trace my roots back in SA further than Julius Malema,’ says Steve Hofmeyr.

In an interview on Cliff Central, the singer says his roots go way back as compared to most black South Africans. “I can actually trace my roots back in South Africa further than most black people can because they only learned to read and write 100 years ago,” he said.

Hofmeyr says he considers himself to be a true African and isn’t bothered by all the stereotypes. “People would like to stereotype me as one of those old right wingers, there’s no Eugene [Terre’Blanche] to shoot, so we’ve got to find somebody else, and then ‘ah there’s Steve Hofmeyr, he’s a white Afrikaner and he’s Afrikaans and he says nice things about the race that we hate so why not pick on him?’,” he said.
