Taking to Twitter, @mm_clement shared a post about a family of eight who stay in a run down house that should barely be considered fit for human or even animal occupation. According to the poster, all eight occupents are also unemployed.
"As Bantu http://organisation.SA which is an NPO based in the North of KwaZulu-Natal , KwaDukuza. We have located a Youth lead household consisting of 8 members whom all are unemployed only surviving through social grant and assistance from close relatives and friends.
"We have seen the need to call in any individual , Relevant Government sector and Entities to come on board and make any form of donation to assist in Building this family a proper house . Kindly contact us on 0812143635/ 071 146 7460," he captioned the post.

Taking to Facebook Maake Shadrack shared an inspirational post about how he had slept on the floor as a student working hard to obtain a qualification that would catapult him from his poor circumstances to a better life.
"*2 years of sleeping on the floor at 25 Mathivha Street, Mankweng Zone 1, and one year of being a squatter on-campus taught me to never give up in life and continue enduring even when there's no sign of change. "However, even if you pray day and night if you don't work smart and diligently...You will never move to the next layer."
