1:06:16Now PlayingIn this Episode of the Wide Awake Podcast I spoke to Gabriel Du Preez also known as Tokkie. Tokkie was born in Feitas which is a suburb in Johannesburg. In 2010 he was introduced to one of south Africa's most successful music groups, Die Antwoord by filmmaker Ben Jay Crossmen.
He was adopted by Yolandi Visser and Ninja when he was nine years old along with his younger sister Meisie. Their older brother was not adopted and remained in Fietas with his mother.
Tokkie believes that Die Antwoord adopted him solely because of the way he looks and that it was all part of their image.
After spending many years with the musical group and appearing in some of their most successful music videos titled ‘I Fink U Freaky and Ugly Boy' Tokkie has been completely cut off and is now living back in Fietas with his older brother. His sister remains in their custody.
