Randburg Magistrate's Court Nov 4 2014 - Afrikaner singer Steve Hofmeyr obtains court order against Conrad Koch, the puppeteer of the character 'Chester Missing', to stop 'terrorising and demonising'
the popular singer. 5 November 2014. The pro-Afrikaans Action Group assisted Hofmeyr in his application at the Randburg magistrate's court Wednesday. The
court orders Koch from 'no further terrorising, contacting the sponsors of Hofmeyr or his partners or publish any more malicious comments about him'.
The court order is valid until 27 November when Koch was ordered to appear in the Randburg court to explain why the court-order would not be made as a final
order. An order for his arrest was issued and will be carried out if Koch fails to obey the order which is valid throughout South Africa.
Dr Dan Roodt of Praag said in a statement: 'We could no longer sit still to see how Steve Hofmeyr, the most popular singer in Afrikaans and with whom we have
been fighting for Afrikaner rights over the past decade, continues to be maliciously terrorised and demonised.'
Praag and Hofmeyr also consider the possibility of suing Koch for slander for 'loathsome comments Koch published about Hofmeyr on Twitter'.
Hofmeyr raised another furore on the social media when he tweeted two weeks earlier : " Sorry to offend but in my books Blacks were the architects of
Apartheid. Go figure.” Koch got onto the high-publicity campaign which followed the anti-Hofmeyr bandwagon -- raging against him in The Times and demanding
that Hofmeyr's sponsors i.a. PickNPay and LandRover end their support.
