The song comes from the musical 'Ons vir Jou', and all that we want to say is that the Afrikaner also shed blood while building South Africa. įor the sake of his own survival, Bok was forced to print a disclaimer on the sleeve of his second album, Afrikanerhart "Afrikanerhart is not a song that calls for any form of revolution or uprising. Koos Kombuis also points out that Van Blerk's rugby-song is about a coloured rugby player, Bryan Habana. He also makes it clear that he does not side with the Boeremag, that he does not believe violence to be a solution to problems and that General De la Rey was pro-peace. But he does promote Afrikaans and has refused to participate in the concert organised by the 94.7 Highveld Stereo radio station because of their policy not to play Afrikaans music. Van Blerk himself says that he does not identify himself with the old South African flag, nor does he want to be associated with it.

In the statement the Department deplored the possibility that the song could be hijacked by right-wing circles, but wished the singer good luck.

At some of his concerts some audience members have flown the old South African flag and the Transvaal Vierkleur. On 6 February 2007, the South African Department of Arts and Culture issued a statement regarding the song "De la Rey" (which is a tribute to Koos de la Rey) regarding the controversy that arose due to the popularity of the song with some Afrikaners, who interpret the lyrics as a call to armed battle.
