While South Africa is embracing the cold front with stormy weather in some parts and strong winds, a university student used their creativity to brave the cold weather while at a university residence by using a hairdryer to warm her body before going to bed.
A TikTok user with the username @thlalefosgeco took to her TikTok page to share a video of her roommate thinking outside of the box and sharing her hilarious trick for keeping herself warm.
The 18-second clip captioned: “POV: Heaters are not allowed at res,” gained attention from TikTok users. The video shows a young lady who is sitting on top of a bed covered with a white blanket warming her body, legs and hands with the hot air from the electronic appliance.
