New releases:
Ryno Velvet, the rocker from Bellville known for his “Ai my lam” hit song, is back with a brand new song, “Moet jou hê”. This song follows his previous song, “Hoor jou”, which was released in October.
If things get too much for you, you just have to do your best, believes Jakkie Louw in his new single, “Doen jou bes”. He considers this song as a victory song. According to Jakkie, you just have to do your best and then surrender to Who is actually in charge. He tells in a post on his Facebook page about his friends in George, Monya and Johan. Johan was diagnosed with cancer last year, and they suffered a lot with the treatment. “I also told Monya these words, which we say to our children every morning before they go to school to write a test or play sports: ‘Do your best, God does the rest’.”
