A couple made a decision to move from a two-room flat they were renting and build themselves a shack.

In a TikTok video, @umntu_katalee shared that they did not plan to move into a shack, but the circumstances forced them. Nonetheless, they do not regret this because it worked in their favour.

Instead of paying R6k rent monthly, they now live in their own space for free. The TikTokker encouraged others, saying one can make a comfortable life wherever they stay. The duo transformed their shack into looking like a modern flat.
