The people of SA have been crying out for help with no light at the end of the tunnel. This has led to many leaving the country to places where they are able to give themselves and their children a brighter future.

TikTok user @the_saffa_in_scotland shared a video of the council houses in Scotland. These are homes provided by the government for those less fortunate. While the area is classified as the ‘poor area’, the homes are still beautiful, safe, clean and nothing like the RDP houses that we know in SA.

The woman noted that there are no fences, cars are parked on the street, and she can stand with her phone out without fearing for her safety. Life is definitely very different in Scotland.
