say about a burning issue. This comes after the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, shared the list of beneficiaries of the fund."I want to adress the issue of Die Stem. This anthem was an sung by broers to celebrate our oppression, our murders and our struggles. They killed us and sung Die Stem in celebration. Its disgusting when a black men defends it, its disgusting.
One positive step would be to replace "Die Stem" in our national anthem with a new Afrikaans verse that truly represents our democracy.
