Social commentary poster print on the South African phenomenon of "Izikhothane": A youth movement/trend born in the townships which entails the destruction of money and expensive material objects to gain respect or notoriety.

Work such as that produced by Sindiso Nyoni, a peer of Thando Sangqu, is an example of the creative output looking at what it means to be young in South Africa, with more than two decades under the country's belt as a post Apartheid nation.
