Goeienag Generaal

Goeienag Generaal
One of the great South African anti-war songs, by the great Piet Botha and his band Jack Hammer.

The lyrics are bitter, the music classic blues rock, and the lyrics all the more poignant given Botha’s relationship to the Afrikaner ruling elite at the time. The chorus is powerful stuff, speaking to the propaganda of the apartheid regime: “Maar Whitey, jou oë op daar dag/ Was blou net soos die lug/ Toe ons weer so kyk/ Het ‘n AK jou fucked-up geskiet/ Goeienag Generaal, slaap lekker”.
Christopher Dot Coza
Ja, dit was die oorlog vir die nuwe dag
