Graffiti artists in and around Cape Town have come together to oppose the new proposed by-law that deems authorised graffiti on private property illegal. The by-law states that even if the owner of the building or house has given the graffiti artist permission to spray the wall, it is still considered illegal.
This means that home owners will no longer to be allowed paint anything other than the house number on their walls and may not allow any graffiti artists to do a piece on it. South African underground creative’s have come together to oppose this and a petition to amend the new by-law has been started on the internet.
As many signatures as possible is needed to give to the Cape Town city council during the public participation meeting scheduled to be held soon. Murals like the Faith47’s piece shown above will be painted over and declared illegal if the law is passed. We call on all hip hop lovers, UnderGround and Commercial, to sign the petition and protect a crucial part of our culture.
