Unfortunatly, so is mine. The reason why I came to know a little bit 
about it is that I bought my daughter a new backpack. She wanted an 
all black one so I got her one from "Dickies". On my way home I met 
an old friend who commented that my choice of rucksack was very cool 
indeed, since Dickies is the preferred apparel-label of the 
streetgangs of Capte town. Naturally, this was all news to me and we 
started talking. Anyways, a googlesearch for "Kwaito" will keep you 
busy for a while :-)
