Cnr Malibongwe & Republic Roads

These were also taken on the 10th September 2011, just further up the road on Malibongwe. On the Corner of republic.

Other tags on the same wall:

Republic Road - Sports ground

On the same trip over the weekend I found this container on a sports ground next to the Road Loadge, facing the road.

10 September 2011 – Malibongwe

6:30 am, the sun is still a bright orange ball low on the horizon. I went for a drive while the roads were quiet to a wall on Malibongwe drive, Randburg, that I knew was always brightly coloured and well painted. Almost every wall on the length of this main road is scattered with tags and markings. I wish I could stop for every one. Soon enough I’ll try to capture as many as I can, but for now its the murals which excite me more. On my route back I found many more locations with grafitti, my eyes dart around everywhere I go now. Finding a place to stop the car, not mid-street, is a small problem.

4th September (part3) - Main Reef

These are a little more on the grafitti end of the grafitti-meets-art spectrum, but I feel that they need to be included.

Location: Main Reef Road and Chilvers Street. Artist unknown

These three are a few among many against a warehouse alongside the train tracks on Main Reef.

 

When I saw this scrawling under a bridge on Main Reef Road, I had a laugh. I guess if thats your best talent, then its best kept under bridges.

4th September (part2) Joe Slovo

This group of photos were taken on a wall on Joe Slovo drive. Some of the walls are in bad condition and the paint is cracked or faded, so I assume that they have been there for quite some time.

I'm not 100% sure of the artists, In time I'll learn to read and recognise the grafitti styles.
