In shanty towns, most dwellings are made from corrugated iron sheets arranged in boxes. Power is normally supplied from nearby traffic lights - the shanty town dwellers run an electrical cable from the lights to their houses.

∙ 12y agoAfrican houses vary, but for the most part they are very simple. In more upscale parts of Africa they are more European having been left over from the British and the Dutch. But the houses in the villages are very round and made of mud and straw or just mud. Usually there is just one room and a small compound. Some tribes will paint their houses with bright designs.
