    Steve should be given a heroism medal for speaking out and telling the truth. And another heroism medal for singing Die Stem. It's such a beautiful song.

    we have more important issues done statues people, all we doing is starting a racial war without realising it. lets not cover important things that need to be discussed.

      +Akani That's why everyone is doing what they doing. They want war. It works for the thug government as they make money from war. We should all take the thugs down to earth. That's the real important issue to discuss here.

    this is a very sad chapter in our (all south africans) history, all heritage's and cultures should be respected. History must be preserved to insure pride in not only your own culture but also in SA as a howl. Pride in yourself and the respect of other cultures is the root to a successful rainbow nation. I think that there is only one hope... google Mmusi Maimane... I like that steve stands up for my culture and i would like to thank him for that, Louis Botha (google it...) is my ancestor. but looking like AWB is a bit much.

    My one friend is racist against blacks but not because of thier skin but because of what they did to him an his family. His mother was raped twice and has almost been killed and he needed to flee from his house in order to go and look for help his grandparents have been killed in front of him. His grandfather had been thrown to death with bricks and his grandmother was taken by the hands and feet and thrown head first into the wall, and you tell us were the racists? Again GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!

      eNCA couldn't stop themselves from cutting off Die Stem and calling it the anthem of Apartheid South Africa on their video. There is nothing wrong with an anthem which is a hymn praising the beauty of a country. It's only the small-minded Liberal moonbat's who are threatened by a song and a few statues. Shame on them.

    oh wow i had no idea statues were more important than crime! it saddens me how people in south africa can fuss over statues and talk of civil wars when crime is all around us. News channels out here also making things worse. We are focusing on the little things instead of looking at the bigger picture. This country is really becoming a banana republic!

    He makes very good points, but still it is detracted by the presence of the old flags and the camouflage. They detract from the debate around history and make it look about something more sinister.

      I know this is an old comment, but since we are still facing this problem, I'm gonna adress it. Regarding what you said about the "old flags". I only see the Vierkleur flag in this video. The Vierkleur is NOT the Apartheids flag. The Apartheids flag was the orange, white and blue one. The vierkleur is the Boere/Afrikaans flag, and even though it was one of the 3 small flags in the old flag, it does NOT REPRESENT Apartheid.

    Some of this people are so Racists, they are not the people l like that much at all, think some of them needs to be sent to the sea, or kicked out of SA. Lets hope when Malema comes will do that. l cant stand them with their racists attitude. They dont see no one but themselves.

They don't want change in SA, They don't want Transformation, land reform and equal opportunity for everybody, all they want is to still control Blacks and be Superior. And ANC is also helping this Racists, they are untouchable under ANC government, only JUJU will help us.
