Starting over in a new environment may come with challenges, but it certainly has a rewarding feel. One Mzansi woman shared she bought a piece of land in KwaZulu-Natal and showed online viewers the massive space she had to work with.

Home improvements on the way

A TikTok user, who goes by the name Nox, wrote in her post that she and her family moved back to the farms, making it a place they would call home.

Nox also informed app users:

"We got the land for R5 000, and we didn't even need time to discuss this."
