Bok van Blerk, born Louis Pepler, is a South African musician who sings in Afrikaans and became famous in 2006 for his rendition of "De la Rey.

This song had such a dramatic impact on a nation that it made newspaper headlines all round the world including The NY Times and The London Times. The articles went on to mention that he had inadvertently, cast the notion of South African pride in a whole new light and that he and two friends penned an unlikely rock ballad about an Afrikaner general named De la Rey who battled British forces a century ago, and it instantly became an Afrikaner anthem. Bok calls the song, "De la Rey," a testament to Afrikaner pride. "I'm part of this rainbow country of ours," he said "but I'm one of the colours, and I'm sticking up for who I am. I'm proud of who I am."

Bok van Blerk was the largest selling artist in South Africa for 2007 and 2008 and this included his top seller (De La Rey) of which 200 000 albums were sold.

His album has gone both Gold and Platinum.

In one year he has received 3 Huisgenoot Tempo Awards and 6 Vonk Awards and in 2007 he was awarded with the best music video award at the South African MK awards.

Bok van Blerk has been seen as a local hero in the eyes of many a South African in the way that he has been able to bring together a nation in a time of challenge and volatility. Having him play in Australias backyard will allow all those South Africans living in Australia the opportunity to savour the taste of home.
