South African Musical Artist: Bok van Blerk
Bok van Blerk, born Louis Pepler on 30 March 1978, is a South African musician who sings in Afrikaans. He became famous in 2006 for his rendition of the Afrikaans song ‘De la Rey’ by Sean Else and Johan Vorster.

Some images to remember the ‘1995 Rugby World Cup Final’. The match was played at Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg, South Africa on 24 June 1995 between the host nation, South Africa, and New Zealand.

South Africa won the encounter by three points in their first Rugby World Cup Final, which was also the first to require extra time.

Unusually, the points were scored by only one player from each team, with Andrew Mehrtens of New Zealand scoring all 12 of the All Blacks’ points (three penalties and one drop goal) and Joel Stransky tallying all 15 points (three penalties and two drop goals) for the Springboks, including his famous dramatic drop goal in extra time, which sealed the victory and their first Rugby World Cup title.

Platteland is set to the biggest Afrikaans musical to date and is scheduled for cinema release nationally on 16 June 2011. The film tells the story of Riana van Niekerk (Lianie May) who is desperately fighting to save her family’s farm from Mike Ferreira (Steve Hofmeyr) who has his own agenda and is determined to drive Riana from the land and seize her farm. When Dirk Pretorius (Bok van Blerk), a drifter with many secrets of his own, arrives in town, new alliances are formed and love blossoms in the most unlikely quarters. Platteland features some of the greatest hits of the past few years including Tyd om te Trek (Bok van Blerk), Vergeet My Nie (Lianie May) and Pa en Seun (Steve Hofmeyr en Bok van Blerk), ensuring that Platteland will be hugely popular. The stellar cast comprises Bok van Blerk who shot to fame with his massive hit De la Rey and has since become one of the biggest names in Afrikaans music. He has a string of hits behind his name, including Tyd om te Trek, My Kreet and Die Kaplyn. He garnered the 2009 SAMA Award for his top selling album Afrikanerhart. Steve Hofmeyr, the bad boy of the South African music scene, started his acting career in the phenomenally successful television series Agter Elke Man before going on to cement his reputation as South Africa’s most successful singer and songwriter with sales in excess of two million and a string of chart-topping hits such as Pampoen, Agter Elke Man and FM Stereo. His album Toeka was awarded a SAMA for top …
