The candid video about the challenges of building a home from scratch received thousands of likes. Many were inspired by the woman's tale of hard work and determination.
In a TikTok video by @nombulelok_, she told people that she and her husband's home was finally taking shape. She said they came a long way from when they bought the land and only had money for the land purchase. The woman detailed that they do not live on a consistent income as she's unemployed and her husband works on small projects at a time. They were still able to make progress with the home despite "living hand-to-mouth".

She ignored people who told her she was forcing things when she was trying to build. The clip showed the couple's nearly complete home that was only in need of finishing touches after four years of construction.
