He's an Afrikaans rights activist, but also a performer. Soms Wen Die Wolf is an Afrikaans alternative band, which might be the last thing you'd expect to see from Roets.

The organisation remains controversial, as many people believe they're exclusively focused on Afrikaner rights over human rights. However, AfriForum says they are simply a civil rights organisation.

Roets represented AfriForum against Julius Malema and others. He's also been involved in other AfriForum court battles.

However, who would have thought that he's also a heavy metal musician?

AfriForum: Ernst Roets and Heavy Metal AfriForum is a controversial organisation, whom some people believe stands up predominantly for Afrikaner rights.

The organisation sued the band DOOKOOM, citing controversial lyrics, however lost the court case.

Roets is also a musician himself, and part of Soms Wen Die Wolf.

He dresses up as Little Red Riding Hood for the music video below.

Conservatives sometimes criticise heavy metal for its lyrics and content.

However, Roets fits right in as Rooikappie, and it's actually a pretty good song.

The video shows Roets making his way through the forest, dressed up as a female fairy tale character.
