I was just wondering why Steve is holding his Afrikaans Is Great concert in Pretoria. Surely all the people in Pretoria know it is great, for that is why they live there?
To get worldwide attention, surely one of them big events they have at Wembley in London is where it should be organized.
Many great causes, from AIDS to black oppression, have been celebrated and put in focus there. People like Bono and Annie Lennox, who have always been keen to show how sympathetic they are to Africa, would no doubt rush to play. Imagine U2 doing Die Stem, that would be just great.
There's also the fact that, to be considered one of the true greats of rap, Jack Parow simply must take to the London stage. The likes of Eminem and Chaka Demus & Pliers really only ever got the critical praise and serious attention they warranted after playing Wembley.
Rather spread the greatness of Afrikaans to a bigger audience, Steve. You need not tell Pretoria how great Afrikaans is than you need tell the people of Nkandla how great fire pools and tuck shops are.
The plight of Afrikaans must be shared with a worldwide audience. Pop concerts, after all, single handedly freed Mr Mandela all them years ago; one can do the very same for the Afrikaner.
