They have become known for their explosive live performances and through their controversial and ever-questioning lyrics have generated much controversy in the South African media. In contrast to this Fokofpolisiekar has, however, garnered accolades from the Afrikaans literary community for the powerful conveyance of their intelligent, poetic and honest-to-the-bone lyrics.
