A college student took to Facebook to share their humble rental living space. They said they hope to upgrade the space later this year.
Facebook user Mbalenhle Mabucy Buthelezi posted the pictures of her room on a page called Make your bedroom beautiful with Thembi's Linen. In the photos, one can clearly see that the student is starting from scratch.
The one room had no furniture whatsoever except for the wardrobe that 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.
