“One day my ex-colleague told me there was a house for sale in Vaal. To me, it didn’t matter whether it was an RDP because I just needed a place I wouldn’t have to pay rent for. I contacted the seller immediately.
“We met, we paid lawyers to help us with a deed transfer and the deal was sealed! After 3 months I received the title deed and the house was successfully registered under my name,” Kwanele shared.

From then until 2018, the young woman sacrificed most of the things that she loved doing, such as shopping and going out, so she could save enough money to build the house that she longed for.

Years later, Kwanele managed to build a nine-room house that is big enough for her and her loved ones.
