Samke shared the photo on social media
A lady has taken to social media to share photos of the house she's building on a less than N50k salary.
The South African woman with the Twitter handle, @Samke_nkwanyan said it took four months to complete the building of her home as her salary is R2,000 (N49,948.22).
Sharing the photo, she wrote: "😂 she is so small and beautiful like her mom though been through alot took a whole 4 months to finish with momy earning a 2k salary 🕺🏼"
@Samke_nkwanyan went on to say in a follow-up tweet that she did have R10,000 (N250,055.63) in savings.
She took a loan of R5,000 (N124,975.00), which she paid back from August to now. Even with her savings, loan, and salary, she still struggled.
@Samke_nkwanyan said she asked for help from family and friends who did all they could to assist.
Take a look at her tweets below:
South Africans could only feel pride at her lovely accomplishment and shared so in her replies:

"This is very nice. It's the beginning. If you can build a house with R2K then you will do bigger things when God promotes you to another tax bracket. 4 months is even very short. I'm so proud of you and inspired!!!"
