In revolt against the industrial oppression and the apartheid regime in general, gangs began participating in criminal activities and would plot and scheme in crowded township environments.
In the Pretoria area, this became the language of di kleva(well-dressed township-dwellers who were trendy and up to speed with cultural developments).
The high social status that came with being recognized as a kleva resulted in a growing number of people speaking that way.
Well-dressed township dwellers (kleva) started utilising a combination of Afrikaans words in their speech, resulting in the language having terms such as Dae man, Ek sê, Daarso, Is waar, Nou die laas, and Jy verstaan, which are used on a daily basis.
The people of the Pretoria-Tshwane area use words such as nyoko, zaka, lechankura and maphepha to refer to money.
