• A man in Limpopo decided to enjoy himself in the back of a bakkie, which was filled with water
• The innovative mobile swimming pool was created to overcome the intense heat in the province

There are plenty of creative and affordable ways to beat the heat without resorting to expensive solutions. One man took innovation to a whole new level by converting a trusty bakkie into a makeshift pool to survive scorching temperatures.

Mobile swimming pool

Using the handle @eulentiyiselankun, a TikTokker uploaded a video on the social media platform showing app users a man chilling in his bakkie filled with water.

While some would take a dip in a regular pool during heatwaves, the man found it easier to stay cool without leaving the comfort of his home or, in this case, his bakkie.
