Steve Hofmeyr took to Twitter to hint at being silenced so he would not speak his mind.
Several sponsors have distanced themselves from a music concert featuring Steve Hofmeyr.As corporate sponsors continue to distance themselves from the Afrikaans Is Groot music event over its decision to include Steve Hofmeyr in the lineup, the musician has told followers on social media he has been barred from speaking.
MTN announced they had withdrawn their sponsorship from the event and said it was not in line with their objective of trying to"connect South Africans and bring people together". Coca-Cola told TshisaLIVE it was approached to partner with Afrikaans Is Groot but declined. It distanced itself from the event and said it had enquired as to why it was advertised as a sponsor. Its logo has since been removed.
Steve was hit with more bad news when Emerald Resort and Casino announced that after taking"advice and discussions with concerned parties" it cancelled the Afrikaans in die Vaal concert featuring the star.
