A difficulty for many

Owning a home is not easy in South Africa. Houses in desirable areas tend to be quite pricey, and some well-built houses in the safer parts of the townships aren't accessible to many. What makes housing even more frustrating is that many South Africans aren't able to buy houses because of the high unemployment rate.

South Africans were happy for the new homeowners, and one of the commenters living in the area welcomed them to the neighbourhood.
