Sis V. I have started building in the rural 10 months now, and it has been financially and emotionally tiring. I thought I was the only one going through all those troubles since I am young and female. I have been paying double the amount for literally everything because I trusted some people. I was explored to the core. I wanted to give up at some point because I am hardly home in SA to do everything myself. My friend told me hore ho thata ho haha motse and I should be patient and that's the only reason I am still hanging in there

The saying that good help is hard to find is so true!

[@bhekiziqubu2343]

Ms V, you are touching the nerve, especially when I remember that I was working and living in Jo'burg and trying to build a house upcountry/rural KwaZulu at the same time. Personally I had to give up as I lost so much in resources; let alone trying to commute between KZN and Jo'burg. Now I am retired and have started from scratch. It is not nice at all. Your content is 👌

[@VelileLifestyleDecorTV]

My husband and I nearly gave up too because it was one problem after another. We decided to visit our homestead every two weeks so that our presence can be felt and things got better. We are hoping people won’t take advantage of the fact we are away from country. Good luck with everything and I am happy you are working on your homestead. Let’s share information. 🙏🏾❤️

[@motalaneref5650]

Great advice as always. I love your videos my dear ❤️ keep up the good work. South Africa is a beautiful country ❤️

[@soulrebel2006]

Very powerful video. I always view your videos as not real estate land kind of videos but more spiritual and motivational. Happiness and contentment along with the connection to our higher power is hugely important. Thanks so much and continue with the powerful videos (we are so lucky) !!

[@VelileLifestyleDecorTV]

Thank you so much. Yes, my content is about inspiring and motivating others. I try hard to be the living example of what others may like to achieve and don’t know how. I love and appreciate you. 🙏🏾❤️

[@HighlyFavoured074]

Hi Vee. Im so sorry for the challenges you had to endure. We love our villages but people can take advantage of you not being ever present in your house. We love you cc ❤

[@ReaonGroup]

This is so true cc, I have no clue what is going on with our people. Mina I always say many of us in SA we need to undergo de-worming process. Perhaps by doing so immunity will recover to think, do and produce positivity.

[@thembikunene4531]

So so true South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦is very beautiful, and so as it's people r friendly and have a good heart. All the best 🙏😴💞❤️⚘️🌺🍁🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@gracemartha-12]

I understand your frustration cc,I too have a livestock farm and the house in the city,we just need trustworthy and experienced employees to hv a peace of mind

[@thulanincobela5878]

Eish - Life’s challenges always come from the people you trust the most. Well done to you and your husband on the American gig. 💐💐💐

[@zeldamabaso9676]

Hi Velile, thank you so much for the information and advises. We also went through the same with our lives stock ended up selling everything because we are in the city and we've decided to go next year to settle in the rural.

I enjoy this blog, sisi. We are also facing similar issues as siblings, a rural family homestead, and lives in the urban/city context. Balance is a challenge, thanks for the insights.

[@Bamidele-ee8ch]

Did u perform ukubekwa to acquire land? Do you have a PTO certificate or title deed? Do you have to follow a building code or property rates?

[@TheHuny85]

You are teaching me a lot before i get married to my American

[@GoitsemodimoBerniceDikgale]

Hello my sister we miss you ❤

[@lydiaikaneng719]

I am enjoying that lifestyle, except for the stress of theft from family you relied on, workers and farm neighbours buying your things stolen by your worker/family residing at the farm.

[@VelileLifestyleDecorTV]

They once stole my generator and the people they were trying to sell to reported them and we got it back. Sometimes there are good people and bad people. 🙏🏾❤️

[@paulwalterbadze4789]

I thought its only in Zim where family members can rip you off😢😢

[@Tuminkie]

It happens all over Africa

[@africaneagle7397]

I think it happens all over the world , if you become more successful than your family members.😢😢 The green-eyed monster (jealousy) knows no boundaries. However, Africa has a bigger problem, because it has bigger challenges.

[@GQdlamini9082]

Stay strong, family ❤❤

[@JimmyShongwe-fj5ct]

Beautiful flowers Sisi but I think you need to work on your flower arrangement technique 😂

[@VelileLifestyleDecorTV]

😂😂 I wanted something green to work with the big yellow ones. 😂😂🙏🏾❤️

[@Sello_21]

I am 22 years old but I'm always here watching your videos and I must say im learning a lot about adulthood... Thank you so much for doing this. 👍

[@VelileLifestyleDecorTV]

I am happy you are here and getting all the wisdom you can get at your age. I love and appreciate you. 🙏🏾❤️
