Though some shacks may lack the perfect structure, they often serve their purpose creatively and surprisingly. This was hilariously evident when a group of men attempted to lift and move a shack to a new location, sparking laughter from onlookers.

An uplifting situation

A TikTok user named Zoe took to her account (@_zoemella) to share a hilarious video of six Tsakane men moving a shack. According to Zoe, who was asked for an update on the shack, the structure cracked. However, the damage wasn't captured on camera.
