Cape Town content creator Anovuyo Mlata, a kasi resident known for sharing daily vlogs, proudly revealed that he had upgraded his living conditions. His online supporters flooded his post with congratulatory messages filled with love.

On 20 February 2026, Anovuyo shared a series of pictures of his new space. The first picture showed the Woolworths employee carrying his child on his back in the shack that many have seen in previous vlogs. The rest of the photos gave online users a glimpse of the new, stable structure and its modern finishes. Anovuyo now has a big kitchen, a spacious bedroom, and a shower in his new home. In the past, the hard worker showed that he had to boil water in a kettle and pour it into a bucket to wash himself.
