While a lot of people took to the comments to motivate the young man, there were many people who claimed that hyping “poverty” is not what the group is about. Things got heated.

Tania Margaret Omondi had strong opinions:
“This group should stop applauding poverty in the name of encouragement please because what is this I'm just seeing???!!I bet you're among the first to hear earth tremors and earthquakes when they happen at odd hours when everyone's sleeping.”
Rudzani Mutengwe was kind:
“It's nice and clean, you have just proven that it's not about the materials that you have but the cleanliness that matters ”
Masondi Mpongwana is ready for her journey:
“Me next month, I worry about the beginning but this just gave me strength that the beginning is okay as long as we work past it ❤️”

“I started exactly where you are. Today I have everything at my place. One thing at a time. No rush just determination and patience ngwaneso❤”
Humble man buys a fridge for his one-room home
Briefly News reported that no win is too small to celebrate, especially if you worked hard for it. One young man just bought himself a fridge and was bursting with pride and gratitude.
Often we forget how blessed we are because society puts too much pressure on people to continue to strive for unattainable goals. Seeing this young man celebrate his fridge is a reminder to be grateful for the small things.
Twitter user Justice Sibusiso Mashele shared a few pictures of his one-room home in celebration of the fridge he just bought for himself. While having a fridge might seem like a given to some, to Justice, it is a dream come true.
