Mzansi Slam Cape Town Man Who Put Room for Rent for R4k That Doesn’t Even Have a Toilet: “This Is Criminal”

• A man renting a room in Cape Town for R4 000 a month left the people of Mzansi fuming
• Sibongile Mafu posted pictures of the room for rent, highlighting all that is wrong with it
• Her post set people off, and the comment section was quickly filled with angry and disappointed people

Some people are trying to make money from other people's desperation, which is sad. One woman named and shamed a man expecting someone to rent a room that did not even have a toilet for R4 000 a month.

Times are tough, and people are trying to cut costs and make money from side hustles like renting rooms. This man, however, took a shortcut and seemed to have forgotten the toilet in his rental.

While this man already got roasted on the Facebook group where he posted his rental, Sibongile Mafu decided to take the matter to Twitter.

Sharing pictures of the rental, the woman aired some of the concerns people highlighted in the original post. Take a look:

“They are absolutely cooking Paul in this rental Facebook group ‘Where’s the toilet?’ ‘You can reach for a beer in the fridge from the shower’ ‘That’s not a bachelor’s- it’s a garage with a sliding door. ’Paul, come and answer for your crimes.’ People are tired of grifters.”

Briefly News contacted the woman who made the post to find out why she feels people are renting out spaces like this for so much and why it has made people so and. This is what she said:

"It seems to be a growing problem in Cape Town where people convert their garages into ‘bachelor’s’ that looks like Paul’s or just have the audacity to put up shoddy rooms and houses for rent.

"For me, it seems like a way to make a quick buck. People are desperate to live close to their workplaces or just find a home in CT so they’ll move into places like this which are just not up to scratch."

Mzansi people let "Paul" know that his room just isn't cutting it

The post blew up with people making it clear that what this man, and others like him, are doing is not okay. Many people couldn't believe someone would let another human live in these conditions while paying R4 000!

Stunning RDP house with sleek minimalist interior has SA peeps loving the cosy style: "This is beautiful"

In related news, Briefly News reported that a gorgeous RDP house rocking a sleek minimalist interior had peeps talking about how lovely it was.

@KasiEconomy shared the lovely snaps on Twitter, showing different aspects of the house. The first thing that grabbed peeps attention was the colour of the paint on the walls, juxtaposed with the white edges.

The yard isn't impressive, but the real wonder begins when you enter the crib. It looks a lot more spacious than what the exterior suggests. The first snap shows a lounge that exemplifies minimalist design with a lovely blue couch and a plant placed by its side.
