A Group of People Lift a Shack

A group of people moved a complete corrugated sheet-built shack from one place to another.

These powerful guys violated tradition by transporting the shack themselves without the aid of any conveyance, as seen on film.

Typically, moving to a new neighbourhood or apartment involves hiring a removal truck or van and several helpers to help you lift your furniture out of the structure.

By the way, the structure is never torn down but is instead left standing for the following occupant or owner.

Additionally, it is common practise to disassemble and detach the corrugated iron siding from shacks so that it can be carried in sections and erected at a different location.

This was not the case with these men, who made the decision to “cut corners” and simplify the procedure even further at the expense of their strength.

In South Africa, we don’t just move our furniture; we move the entire house. The caption for the video read: “Proudly South African.”

The guy photographing the action can be heard giggling and uttering the Nguni riddle “Mihlolo,” which is used when one cannot believe what one is seeing.

When and in which region of the nation this video was shot are unknown.

But it has undoubtedly given shack residents advice on what to do the next time they feel the urge to lawfully move from one stand to the next.

The South African Squatter Camp Crisis

In South Africa, thousands of people are still crammed into unsafe and underdeveloped conditions all around the country, creating a severe shack dwelling catastrophe.

Typically, shacked neighbourhoods are dangerous, impoverished, and rife with crime.

These communities, which are typically close to urban areas, are the recipients of service delivery, with many without adequate running water and sanitary facilities.
