Afrikaans singer Steve Hofmeyr says his ‘Die Blou Bul’ song will no longer be played before Bulls matches at Loftus because of ‘politics’.
Hofmeyr claimed on Twitter that the song, which has been played since 1997, had been ‘banned’.
Die Bloubul Unie het gevra vir ‘n lied in 1997. Dis in 2018 verban. Dit was ‘n simbool van lojaliteit want dis gesing as ons wen en gesing as ons verloor. Dis gesing vir wit en swart spelers. Dis gesing op alle kontinente. Toe kies hulle politiek. Ek kies dan ‘n ander span. pic.twitter.com/iI5dc6KCfN

However, Bulls spokesperson Shanil Mangaroo said this was not the case.
‘We deny banning the song. We have simply decided to change up the playlist and to rotate songs.’
