Bok van Blerk

Bok van Blerk (born Louis Andreas Pepler; 30 March 1978) is a South African singer-songwriter who sings in Afrikaans.

[1] In March 2006, Bok van Blerk and the Mossies released the album Jy praat nog steeds my taal (You still speak my language).

The same album was rereleased in October 2006 under the name De La Rey and solely credited to Bok van Blerk.

[1] On 6 February 2007, the South African Department of Arts and Culture issued a statement regarding "De la Rey" (ostensibly a tribute to 19th Century military leader Koos de la Rey) and its then popularity with some Afrikaners, some of whom were claimed to interpret the song as a call to armed conflict.

Huisgenoot, a widely read woman's magazine, asked Minister of Arts and Culture Pallo Jordan to comment.
