Some more photos of our massive intervention at UCT. We consciousness bombed about 30 locations on UCT campus the evening of the 16 August. UCT must account for backing Killer Lonmin

Straight Outta Marikana In honour of the 3rd anniversary of the Marikana Massacre, Tokolos Stencils has created this meme in memory of those who have fallen because of the murderous police and white mining capital. #Lonminmustfall #fuckthapolice

The provision of visionary education, responsive health-care, employment, proper housing, piped water, electricity, sanitation and refuse removal to the majority of the country's citizens living in the shacklands and rural areas has eluded the ANC government 20 years into its incumbency - and the DA in the Western Cape too. But they have managed to deliver T-shirts at political rallies, sod-turnings, government functions and imbizos – usually with a lunch that isn't free because one's presence is co-opted for politically cynical reasons. While Marie Antoinette would have France's poor eat cake, South Africa's political elite would have the country's marginalised starve materially and mentally in party-political or government T-shirts. President Zuma wanted good stories to tell at his State of the Nation address? We laud government's and mainstream political parties' ability to deliver Chinese-made T-shirts to the masses.

One of our favourites for a few reasons: 1. The mix of colours 2. It was challenging to curve the stencil around the pot 3. The location at Salt River Circle

Part 2 Fat Cactus is a Gentrinaaier Old Biscuit Mill is a Gentrinaaier Woodstock Exchange is a Gentrinaaier The Test Kitchen is a Gentrinaair (Gentrinaaier stencils done by an anonymous collective, not Tokolos) On Tuesday evening, some TOKOLOSNAAIERS took a trip around the back-alleys of the Woostock Improvement District. They discovered a community that was no longer a community as its residents of decades have been displaced by the winds of change. In its place, are the well-to-do who go to and from their work, spend money at overpriced restaurants but do not know their neighbours as they, unlike their predecessors, are too afraid to sit on the stoop. This landed gentry have been aided and abetted by what can only be described as gentrinaaiers - property developers, real estate agents, restaurant entrepreneurs, hipster creatives, and of course, the Old Biscuit Mill.The GENTRINAAIERS of Woodstock are an unstoppable tsunami of urban renewal destroying any semblance of vibrancy and authenticity in its path - unstoppable that is unless the community fights back.

Marikana says fuck da police. Any black person knows to watch her/his back when the police are around.
