Theuns Jordaan
Theuns Jordaan is op 10 Januarie 1971 gebore en het op ‘n plaas naby Venterstad, 30km van Bethulie, grootgeword. In sy matriekjaar aan die Hoër Volkskool Graaff-Reinet het hy sy liefde vir rugby met ‘n kitaar begin deel. Ná skool is hy weermag toe, daarna na die Universiteit van Stellenbosch waar hy ‘n B.Ekon.-graad verwerf het.
Dit was ook op Stellenbosch waar Theuns al meer begin sing het. Op 21 Oktober 1992 het hy vir die eerste keer voor ‘n gehoor in die kuierplek The Terrace opgetree met ‘n paar rand en ‘n pizza as enigste betaling.
Met sy graad in die hand verruil Theuns in 1998 Stellenbosch vir Pretoria en by die KKNK van 2000 word sy debuutalbum, Vreemde Stad, vrygestel. Vreemde Stad word een van die suksesvolste debuut-albums nog ooit in Afrikaans met verkope wat reeds verby die 210 000-merk is.
Die langverwagte tweede album, Tjailatyd, word by Aardklop in 2002 bekendgestel en ook hierdie album se verkope is reeds by bykans 220 000.
Die kitaarspeler Anton L’Amour begin gereeld saam met Theuns optree, ‘n samewerking wat vandag nog deel is van Theuns se loopbaan.
In November 2005 word Seisoen vrygestel en hierdie keer is L’Amour in die regisseurstoel. Seisoen sorg ook vir rekordverkope met meer as 115 000 CD’s wat verkoop is. Theuns het dus met slegs drie albums verkope van meer as 500 000 behaal.
In 2007 besluit Theuns om sy sewe jaar as professionele sanger op een album saam te vat. Grootste Treffers word in Maart vrygestel en verkoop byna 85 000 tot op datum.
Op 28 Maart 2008 word Theuns en Juanita du Plessis se Bring Jou Hart op DVD vrygestel. Dis ‘n reuse sukses en daar word ook ‘n CD vrygestel. Die DVD se verkope was 105 000 en die CD ‘n ongelooflike 120 000.
Theuns was nog altyd ‘n groot aanhanger van die musiek van Koos du Plessis en in April 2009 word Koue Vuur vrygestel. Dit behaal binne twee maande platinumstatus en die verkope staan tans op meer as 100 000.
2012 is ‘n groot jaar vir Theuns. Nie net stel hy sy vyfde solo-CD, Roeper, vry nie, maar hy en Juanita werk weer saam op Hart Vol Drome.
Roeper is een van 2012 se grootste verkopers en boer lank op die topverkoper-lyste van platewinkels en programme soos RSG se Top 20 en DKNK. Die album se verkope was in Maart 2013 reeds by bykans 115 000, maar die handvol Ghoema-toekennings wat die album in April 2013 gewen het – onder meer vir album van die jaar - het beteken dat dit later die maand wéér op RSG se Top 20 was.
Theuns is met sy diep rasperstem nie net ‘n uitstekende sanger nie, hy het ook deur die jare sy staal as liedjieskrywer gewys. Verskeie groot treffers – Soos Bloed, Jou Asem, Roeper van My Hart en Net Voor die Storm Kom om net ‘n paar te noem – is uit sy pen en daar is beslis nog ‘n paar wat wag om geskryf te word.

Gérard Korsten
Gérard Korsten (popularly known as Gé) (6 December 1927 – 29 September 1999) was a South African opera tenor and actor who had a great influence on Afrikaans culture.
Born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands as the youngest of eight children, Korsten and his family emigrated to South Africa when he was nine years old. He married Elna Burger and had five children, among them renowned conductor and violinist Gérard Korsten.
Initially he worked as an electrician, but from the age of 20, started singing in choirs. However, he received his first formal vocal training in 1952, when he was well into his 20s, studying under Adelheid Armhold at the South African College of Music.
In 1955 he moved to Pretoria, where he was one of the founder members of the Pretoria opera company. In 1956, he debuted as Canio in Ruggero Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci.
Korsten won a bursary to study in Vienna in 1962, where he received tuition under Judith Hellwig. During this period he had the opportunity to perform in Vienna and Munich, but he never sang professionally outside South Africa, mainly due to family considerations. It was only in 1970 that Korsten sold his business to devote himself to full-time singing. In the course of his operatic career, Korsten appeared on stage more than 3,000 times, playing 23 roles in most of the major operas.

Theuns Jordaan
Musician/Band
After he completed his studies, Theuns spent a year as an entrepreneur. In October 1998, he moved from the Cape to Gauteng - specifically Pretoria. After gaining popularity in the city, he recorded his debut album, Vreemde Stad, in Stellenbosch. This album was released in 2000 at an arts festival, the Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees. EMI released Vreemde Stad shortly after this and the album surpassed triple platinum status (150 000 copies) in July 2003.
He launched his second album, Tjailatyd at the Aardklop music festival in 2002, which also sold more than 150, 000 records. The South African guitar player, Anton L'Amour, performed with Theuns and was responsible for all the guitar tracks in Vreemde Stad and Tjailatyd.
Music
Theuns Jordaan's singing is characterized by his deeply emotive bass voice. His music has been said to be "faintly bluesly, radio-friendly", with his lyrics "infused with a mournful love of South Africa".Albums

What is Red October?
What is Red October?
Sunette Bridges
Red October is a movement dedicated to
raising awareness about the inhumane slaughter and oppression of the
White Ethnic Minority in South Africa. We are dedicated to exposing the
current South African government for Crimes Against Humanity. We will
not be silent until the World takes notice and the Violation of our
Human Rights is put to an end.
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.” - Martin Luther King
On 21 March 2014 We call on people across the World to raise their voices against the oppression of and violence against the White South African minority!
We will again stage marches and gatherings across South Africa and the World to let everyone know that we have had ENOUGH!
No longer will we be silent about the oppression of White South Africans! No longer will we endure the killing of our people on our farms and in our towns and cities!
We can no longer be silent about the brutal torture of the elderly and defenceless people of our Ethnic Minority!
We are tired of Corrupt Governance, Racist Black Economic Empowerment and Affirmative Action policies. We can no longer tolerate the destruction of our infrastructure, our filthy government hospitals, our pathetic educational system, dirty dams and rivers, uninhabitable parks and public areas, dangerous neighbourhoods and filthy streets! The list is endless and we say it’s ENOUGH!
People all over the
World will gather, bearing White Crosses in memory of those who have
lost their lives and in protest against the inhumane Slaughter and
Oppression of the White People of South Africa. This needs to stop and
can no longer be ignored.
“All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing!”- Edmund burke
