Broers or alternatively Die Broers is a South African music group trio made up of Snyman brother Christo, Cobus and Stephan and formed in 2006. Broers (meaning Brothers in Afrikaans) had a big hit with "Huistoe" (meaning Home in Afrikaans) in 2008 for which they won "Best Song of the Year" in the Tempo Awards given annually by Huisgenoot popular Afrikaans magazine in South Africa. Their live DVD Broers Tussen die Sterre (meaning Brothers Between the Stars) was nominated for the category "Best DVD of the Year". The band has its own publishing company SMP (Snyman-musiekproduksies).
