“She was laying with her legs open like the doll I had in my room. He says: “Yolandi called me into the room, she was naked and vomiting all over,” he said. Every time when he phones the family, they ask if my sister is pregnant yet and that is not going to happen, not on my watch.”ĭu Preez claims that at the age of 13-years-old, du Toit asked him to spend time with her in a room at a house party while she was naked. It is pretty weird, it feels like a pervy vibe to me that Ninja wants to have with my sister. “Why does Ninja want to see my sister naked? She is so small. “Last December, Ninja and them apparently took my sister into a sauna and everyone was naked in the sauna and wanted my sister to get naked too,” he said. He continued by adding that his sister no longer wants to visit them as they ask her to get naked. They told me that I could bring darkness upon the world.”Īs well as this, he mentions how they forced him and his sister to undress in front of them when they were given new clothes and that if they refused to do so, they would be punished. They made me swear more and made me believe that I could burn people in hell and that I am the king of hell.

Suffering from a rare skin disease known as hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, du Preez added: “They made me believe I was the devil. “They made me feel like I wasn’t really being loved.” “They made me feel like I was actually a slave,” he said. South African news outlet, News24 has reported that du Preez accused the duo of “adopt me to be a slave”. The allegations against the South African group first came about after du Preez released a video interview with the former filmmakers for the band, Ben Jay Crossman. The social welfare team of Cape Town have visited du Toit and Jones and social workersĭie Antwoord also adopted Du Preez’ sister who is 14-years-old and now lives with another family still under the duo’s custody. Their son, 20-year-old, Gabriel ‘Tokkie’ du Preez, was adopted by Yolandi Visser (aka Anri du Toit) and Ninja (aka Watkin Jones) when he was nine years old. Their album, Donker Mag, is out via Zef Records.Duo, Die Antwoord have been accused of child abuse by their adopted son.

We’ll let you Google that, if you’re not familiar with Afrikaans.ĭie Antwoord are on tour now. And if you want to try, they’ve already prepared their response: “ Jou mae se poes in a fishpaste jar”. Your personal taste might dictate that you don’t like their music, but there’s still no denying the consecrated punk rock credentials of an act like Die Antwoord. As Yo-Landi points out, when Die Antwoord first exploded from out of nowhere back in 2009, “all these conservative Afrikaners thought we’d sprung from Satan’s dark pit.” Which is exactly the same reaction as the British music press had to the “filth and the fury” of the Sex Pistols, who’s arrival symbolised the birth of punk as we know it back in 1977.

They’re also the full package, and the combination of the songs, the music videos, and the live shows (all of which are totally fucking bonkers) make them one of the most agitative and polemical bands on the planet. On the surface Die Antwoord’s outrageous rap-rave aesthetic might seem like a world away from the incendiary primitive rock of the Sex Pistols, but when he’s not rapping in an arresting Afrikaan/English hybrid, Die Antwoord’s Ninja bears more resemblance to the sneering Johnny Rotten of old than the majority of today’s more conventional punk singers.
