College Student Shows Off Humble Living Space, Mzansi Encourages: “We Start Somewhere”

• A college student showed off her humble living space, which had nothing but a mattress and groceries
• The young lady said that she hopes to improve the one room into a warm and welcoming space
• The online community reacted to the post, with many encouraging her not to give up

A college student took to Facebook to share her humble rental living space. She said she hopes to upgrade the space later this year.

Facebook user Mbalenhle Mabucy Buthelezi posted pictures of her room on a page called Make your bedroom beautiful with Thembi's Linen. In the photos, one can see that the student is starting from scratch.

The one room had no furniture except for the wardrobe she presumably found there. The space had a mattress, which was placed on the floor. Her two-plate stove and food were also placed on the floor because there were no cupboards to store them.
