The lady posted a video about getting groceries to her flat on 9 March 2026. The clip of the woman's average day of grocery shopping went viral.

In a post on TikTok, a woman @asekho7 showed people that grocery day means an extra workout for her. To leave her flat, she walks past a roof, implying that her apartment is built over a flat roof. The lady went grocery shopping, and she needed some time to bring the groceries into her home. She had some navigating to do, having to climb a wooden staircase that looked more like a ladder. The TikTok was placing plastic bags over the roof, which led to her apartment in the township. Watch the video below:
