Van die album Terug in skubbe (2005, Rhythm Records). Oor hierdie video skryf Roof Bezuidenhout op Facebook:
“My great-grandfather was a mineworker and a terrorist. During the South African war (1899-1902), he blew up railway tracks. He was captured by the British imperial forces and sentenced to death. Because his name was so complicated – he was Andries Jacobus Burger Rossouw – the clerk who penned the execution order wrote down his initials in the incorrect order. Due to the error, he was sent into exile to Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) instead. He returned to South Africa and the gold mines of Johannesburg after the war. In the end, he died from silicosis at the age of thirty and was buried in the Braamfontein cemetery.
“This is a new music video for an old song by the Brixton Moord and Roof Orkes, written by the late Brixton Barnard. It has an epic guitar solo at the end by Kapelaan Pat Plank, also known as Gerhard Barnard, the band’s guitarist and a sculptor in his other life. He is also Brixton’s older brother.
“I dedicate this song to all those of us who don’t fit into preconceived notions of what we should be doing and who we should be. The video contains images of other people who were considered to be terrorists by their own people – including Beyers Naudé, Breyten Breytenbach, and Bram Fischer.
“We performed a version of this song earlier this year at the Breytenbach Centre in Wellington, Breyten Breytenbach’s parents’ old boarding house that now serves as an art and community centre.”
