Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that Mzansi's social media users would be the first to tell you that they've seen it all on the Twitter streets, but a studio apartment in Braamfontein costing a few million has stunned even this group of sleuths.

A Twitter user, @OscarMagud, headed to the bird app to drop a bombshell that left South Ahh taken aback as he shared images of a cosy-looking studio apartment located on the outskirts of Johannesburg CBD in trendy Braamfontein.

The caption read:

"R3 990 000 | 1 Bedroom in Braamfontein!"

The tweep incorrectly refers to it as a one-bedroom flat. But on closer inspection, it's clear that it is more a studio apartment, housing everything in a single room with a separate bathroom.
