Koos Kombuis
Koos Kombuis (born ''André le Roux du Toit'', 5 November 1954) is a South African musician, singer, songwriter and writer who became famous as part of a group of anti-establishment maverick
Afrikaans musicians, who, under the collective name of ''Voëlvry'' (directly translated meaning "Free as a bird"; in Afrikaans "voëlvry" is often potentially "synonymous" to the words "fugitive" and "outlaw"), toured campuses across South Africa in the 1980s, to "''liberate Afrikaans from the shackles of its past''". Fellow musicians of this movement were
Johannes Kerkorrel and
Bernoldus Niemand (James Phillips).
They were a younger generation
Afrikaner who didn't believe in
apartheid and didn't toe the ruling
National Party line. This movement coined the term "Alternative Afrikaner" for themselves. Kombuis is something of an icon among certain
South Africans who consider him a guru of Afrikaans rock music and father of non-conformist Afrikaans culture.
