One homeowner in the village took an innovative approach by building their garage on the roof of their home.
TikTokker @mathebula811 took to the popular video-sharing app to share a clip of a car reversing out of an enclosed space on the top floor of a two-storey house. The vehicle made its way down a long and steep ramp and onto the dirt road.
According to an X post by Kasi Economy, the home belonged to Xitsonga musician Benny Mayengani, who set his sights on building a mansion in his village last year.
Months later, the clip of the singer's driveway made its way to TikTok and received quite a reaction on @mathebula811's page.

"It's beautiful. It reminds me of Mall of the South."

"Eish, some house plans."
@goltian provided a suggestion for the planning of the house:
"They need that rotating floor. They can afford it! Because why?"
@thereal.franklin asked in the comments:
"Who’s your engineer, and how was this even approved?"
@tsh.p.a.n.g thought such a design could only happen in one province:
"Only in Limpopo."
