A Mzansi man had netizens awestruck after he took to social media to show off the lovely interior of his decorated shack house.

Man shows off his neat and humble abode

Bisow Leh-Tlokwa took to Facebook to share an image of his home, which appeared to be a spacious one-room shack with a neat and beautiful bed set with a headboard and pedestals. The home also has a bright ceiling light, a wardrobe, a rug, a couch, a sound system and a mounted flat-screen TV.

Shack dwelling a reality for many South Africans

Many people live in shacks in South Africa. According to the government, close to 13% of South Africans live in shacks or informal settlements, as of 2019. This means that around 6.5 million people live in shacks typically made of corrugated iron, wood, and other makeshift materials.

Shack settlements are often located on the outskirts of cities and towns and often lack basic services such as sanitation, clean water, and electricity. Residents of shack settlements often face challenges such as poverty, unemployment, and crime.
