“You Chose the Wrong Block”: SA Busts As TUT Student Shows Views From Soshanguve Accommodation

• A Tshwane University of Technology student took to TikTok to show the views from her accommodation
• The student lived in Soshanguve and used the "It's Giving Zimbabwe" audio to help describe what the place looked like
• A few social media users found the clip hilarious and added laughter in the post's comment section

While pursuing a tertiary education is valuable, a student's living conditions are just as important.

One student shared the view of her accommodation in Soshanguve, only for it to be met with laughter.

Accommodating the views

A TikTok user named Xolly, who attends Tshwane University of Technology, shared that she was living in Soshanguve. However, it seems the area and scenery didn't make much of a positive impact on the young lady.

As a way to describe the place, she used the TikTok audio saying, "It's giving Zimbabwe," which, according to social media users, refers to whether a certain standard was met.
