Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
Fokofpolisiekar was formed in April 2003 by a group of friends from Bellville, one of Cape Town's northern suburbs.
Lyrically they examine the socio-political identity of the Afrikaner, the role of religion in Afrikaner culture, and the role of Afrikaner culture in South Africa. A lot of their lyrics can be interpreted as blasphemous and have therefore sparked strong resistance from the conservative Christian community.
The band has been embroiled in controversy. Their name, which translates as "Fuck off police car," is quite ironic given the extremely high crime rates currently in South Africa. It initially had radio stations hesitant to play their tracks and the mainstream media did not want to use it in full, out of fear that it may offend, but this attitude quickly changed.
