Afrikaans singer Bouwer Bosch is quickly starting his own online revolution with a legion like-minded young South Africans supporting his quest to make love not war.
Bosch, lead singer of Afrikaans band Straatligkinders and now a solo artist, is using YouTube to make his thoughts heard.
In contrast with recent shocking statements made by Afrikaans singer Steve Hofmeyr, Bosch strives to put a fresh and different view out into society.

In his latest video titled Colour blind, the young singer refers to racism and Christianity and how the two can’t go hand-in-hand.
He says: "I know that peace and love don’t have a colour. I sometimes wish I was colour blind. We’re pretending like Jesus was a Voortrekker.
"My heart aches because we’re missing the point. My heart aches because I think you’re blind. You can’t be a Christian and a racist. Jesus didn’t die for the colour of your skin.
"Freedom of speech changed into freedom of hate speech. I can’t sing so I talk. You don’t want to see, so you hate. My heart aches because we’re missing the point. My heart aches because I think you’re blind."
