JOHANNESBURG - UPDATE: Media24, which owns big national titles and sponsors of Afrikaans is Groot, YOU, Huisgenoot, Beeld and Netwerk24, has announced it's also pulling out of the festival.
This comes after calls were made for major sponsors, including the car manufacturer, to pull out of the festival as it is being headlined by controversial musician Steve Hofmeyr, who has been called a racist for his public statements on race and apartheid. — Panyaza Lesufi March 17, 2019 A reason I will never buy @Toyota in my life. I will also urge my family to sign for Ford. Nonsense! pic.twitter.com/DktS2K7YhI@ToyotaSA why are you sponsoring Afrikaans Is Groot music festival with Steve Hofmeyer who spreads white genocide and racist narratives? If I buy a Toyota will part of the purchase price go to spreading racist messaging?
