A 26-year-old South-African female engineer has become an inspiration for other women looking to succeed in fields dominated by men after photos of her building her own house went viral on the social media and reported by odditycentral.com.

South Africa celebrated Women’s Month and a 26-year-old woman from Pietermaritzburg became the unlikely poster girl for this year’s celebration after photos of her single-handedly working on her house went viral on Facebook and other social networks.

South African website, Briefly, managed to track down the woman who turned out to be a trained civil engineer named Zama Philisiwe Zungu. She inherited the passion for construction from her father, who is also a builder, and made the decision to become an engineer in 2014, enrolling at the Umgungundlovu TVET College in her home city.

Zama said that she had never worked in construction before, but that the practical exams she had passed during college gave her the confidence that she could build her house by herself.

“This is what I am good at,” the 26-year-old said. “Building my home is very fun and exciting at the same time, practicals are more fun than theory.”
