The articles pertains to a verbal attack made by J. D. Vorster, the Prime Minister's brother against folk singers and coffee-bar patrons and owners after saying that the "folk singing movement was used in many instances by the forces of doom". Also adding that the songs, as well as the manner in which songs were performed was a sign of the utmost degeneration and should not be tolerated.
