UIT DIE HOOF SE KANTOOR . . .
We though do not focus on what is behind us, but rather on what lies ahead of us. The difficulties of the past 120 years are viewed as the oppurtunities of this year and beyond. Ons, by Hoërskool Upington, is daagliks besig om ons missie en visie voluit te leef en na te streef. Ons droom groot vir onsself, ons skool, ons ouers - en die belangrikste, ons leerders.
Aan elke individu wat besonderse voetspore by die trotse Uppie-land die afgelope 120 jaar getrap het, of in die toekoms gaan trap...
"'n Goeie boom dra goeie vrugte." South African Music : 05/04/13
Hofmeyr married actress Natasha Sutherland, whom he had met on the set of Egoli: Place of Gold
in 1998, they had two sons, Sebastian, born 13 December 2001 and Benjamin, born later (Hofmeyr also has a few children by other women.). In total, Hofmeyr has five children. The couple was divorced after reports of numerous affairs dominated Hofmeyr's time in the spotlight in 2008.
In December 2008, Hofmeyr allegedly assaulted Miss Esmaré Weideman, editor of Huisgenoot, a popular Afrikaans magazine, by pouring a cup of cold tea over her at the Miss South Africa finals.
He was said to have blamed her and two other journalists for his divorce from Sutherland. Miss Weideman subsequently dropped her accusations

In January 2007 there were reports that one branch of the News Cafe restaurant chain would not play Hofmeyr's song Pampoen
(Pumpkin). The managing director of the company that owns the franchise
denies that this is company policy and points out that many Afrikaans acts, such as Karen Zoid and Arno Carstens have performed at News Cafe.
On 12 May 2011, Hofmeyr released the lyrics to his new song called "Ons sal dit oorleef", which means "We will survive this". The song is controversial, because Hofmeyr has threatened to include the word "kaffir" (the common Arabic word meaning "infidel" used by the British and the Boers in the 19th and early 20th century to refer to blacks in the context of his song, but today a very derogatory name for the black population of South Africa) in the lyrics of the song should a judge rule in favour of Julius Malema.
When the presiding judge, Leon Halgryn ruled that "... the publication and chanting of the words 'dubula ibhunu', prima facie satisfies the crime of incitement to murder," Hofmeyr removed the offensive word in his song also, citing that the word would offend his black friends and colleagues.Malema is currently on trial for the singing the song "Shoot The Boer",
a song argued to be inciting violence upon ethnic Boers, white South Africans, particularly farmers. Some people see the murder of Eugène Terre'Blanche , also a farmer, as an example of violence provoked by this song.
In 2011 he made public that he supports the "Expedition for Afrikaner Self-determination" - Onafhanklike Afrikaner Selfbeskikkingsekspedisie,
or (OASE) in Afrikaans. OASE is an advocacy group for Afrikaner self-determination in compliance with the International Law and the guidelines of the international community. He is an avid pro-Afrikaner but mentioned that he maintains a moderate political stance in an OASE public relations video.
Afrikaanse musiek weerspieël die diversiteit van die Afrikaner: Sedert die tagtigerjare was daar nie alleen tradisionele Boeremusiek benewens populêre musiek (soos veral vervat in die Huisgenoot Skouspel) nie, maar ook alternatiewe strome. Waar populêre musiek (byvoorbeeld Bles Bridges, Cora Marie, Janita Claassen, Rina Hugo en Carike Keuzenkamp hulself toegespits het op die vermaaklikheidsaspek van musiek, het alternatiewe kunstenaars (byvoorbeeld Piet Botha, Bernoldus Niemand, Koos Kombuis en Johannes Kerkorrel) sosiale kommentaar gelewer op Apartheid en Afrikaneridentiteit. Belangrik in voor-1994 Afrikaanse musiek is ook kunstenaars soos Laurika Rauch, Anton Goosen, Coenie de Villiers, Lucas Maree en Koos du Plessis
wat hulself beywer het vir die skryf van kwaliteit musiek en lirieke, alhoewel hulle selde direkte sosiale kommentaar gelewer het.
Ná 1994 is die Afrikaner se herontdekking van sy identiteit in sy musiek weerspieël. Die musikante van Voëlvry het meer inwaarts gekeer, groepe soos Battery9 is gestig wat Afrikaans in nuwe genres gebruik het, en Afrikaans het selfs sy eerste heavy metal-liedjie, Voice of Destruction se "J.M.S.P.", gekry (1995). Sedert 2000 het Afrikaanse musiek 'n oplewing ondervind: Groepe soos Fokofpolisiekar, K.O.B.U.S!, Insek, Straatligkinders, Jack Parow, Brasse van die Kaap en Die Antwoord
het Afrikaans in 'n groter verskeidenheid musiekgenres aangewend en daardeur aangetoon dat Afrikaans 'n lewendige en nie eendimensionele taal is nie. Vertalings is ook gebruik om die interkulturele gesprek met
veral Europa na die isolasie van Apartheid te hervat: Hier kan veral die Afri-Frans, Afri-Spaans en Brel-projekte genoem word.
Die anti-apartheid protesmusiek van Voëlvry is ook opgevolg met nuwe protesmusiek teen die establishment: Koos Kombuis het na 'n paar verspreide protesliedjies sy "Bloedrivier" album in 2008 vrygestel, en groepe soos Glaskas, Klopjag, Fokofpolisiekar en natuurlik Bok van Blerk
het begin om protesliedjies te skryf teen wat gesien word as 'n marginalisering van die Afrikaner, asook die heersende misdaadklimaat.
