South Africa inspired by land owning lady

Many people admired how the young woman used the little money she had to secure a plot. She gave people ideas about how they could secure land without a lot of money. Looking at the price, she likely secured communal land, which is secured by obtaining permission to occupy from the chief of the rural area. Most showered the new landowner with compliments over her major achievement.

Briefly News spoke with Real Estate Master Practitioner Xabiso Lombo, who advised about purchasing land.

"It has to be said that investing in land ownership and property carries risk regardless of where it is located. Investors and buyers have to conduct their own due diligence before deciding to invest in land."
