1. Forgiveness is to a large extent a Christian concept. Jesus on the cross said: forgive them for they know not what they do. On other occasions he did not express forgiveness, but rather demanded justice and punishment. The universe does not forgive nor does it forget. Every action carries consequences known as karma.

2. The name of the DVD was chosen after Wynand Myburgh jokingly remarked that if a follow DVD was made to their documentary Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do, it should be called Forgive Them For They Suck K*k; Myburgh elaborated by saying "We do not take ourselves too seriously in Fokofpolisiekar".

5. Fokofpolisiekar: Forgive Them for They Know Not What They Do This film follows the story of the first Afrikaans punk bank, Fokofpolisiekar, band over 4 years as they forge a place for themselves and their fans in the new South Africa; in the process challenging the stigmas and expectations placed on them by their Afrikaner heritage, the church.

6. If we are not willing to forgive, it is an indication that we have not fully understood or experienced the grace of being forgiven (see Luke ). This is true regardless of the “offender’s” attitude towards his actions. Perhaps you can see the distinction we’re trying to make. You didn’t explain precisely how your father hurt you.

7. This song is by far Fokofpolisiekar’s most well-known song. It describes the struggle of Afrikaners who, after Apartheid, are trying to survive in a country that hates them, and keep their culture.

8. One betrayed him. When he was arrested, most ran away. Even Simon—Peter, “the rock,” on which Jesus hoped the new community would be built—even he denied three times that he even knew Jesus. What he didn’t fail at was forgiving. Even at the end, as he gave up his spirit, he said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”.
