Meanwhile, Cape Town Rent Prices Are Making Waves

South Africans were left speechless by the astronomical amounts some people are willing to shell out monthly just for a roof over their heads. It’s a conversation that’s sparking debates across the country. So, while Lerato’s inspiring fans to chase their dreams, the cost of living in South Africa remains a hot topic.
