A young woman has left social media users impressed after giving them a full tour of her beautifully maintained four-room shack that breaks all stereotypes about informal housing.

The TikTok video reveals a spacious structure with tiled floors, painted walls, and a corrugated iron roof that houses a complete living space.

The home tour shows that the shack has four separate rooms plus a full bathroom, a luxury many informal settlements lack. There's a kitchen area with proper storage, two bedrooms on either side, and a living space with couches and large windows fitted with burglar bars for security.

Briefly News asked financial expert Fulufhelani Mashapha how people can stay financially responsible when tempted by expensive luxury lifestyle upgrades. She explained:

"While it’s okay to want a beautiful space, it’s wiser to plan for it by saving up gradually or using a portion of a bonus or windfall, rather than disrupting your financial foundation."

The difficulties of living in a shack

What makes this shack special is its access to electricity and running water, which, according to housing experts, is not always available in informal settlements. The Department of Housing states that over 2 million shacks exist across South Africa, with many lacking basic services like electricity, running water, and proper toilets.

Many people living in informal settlements face daily challenges that affect their dignity and quality of life. However, this young woman's home shows how residents can transform their living spaces into comfortable homes with proper planning and resources.
