Political, prison gang and consumer slogans all share the side of a disused bread truck now used as a spaza shop. Bread trucks became a common target of angry and frustrated residents in the 1980s youth uprisings in the townships. In Langa, which is the oldest African township in Cape Town, it was unusual to find political graffiti alongside tjappies, which are normally associated with coloured prison gangs. The fact is that there is a growing number of black youth who are joining the traditionally coloured, Afrikaans-speaking reformatory and prison gangs.
