Love this! Very cool simple building! I never heard of a shebeen! Now I know what it is! I like that idea - not having to buy a license for booze! Looks like a fun, relaxed group!#
Nice pic to be included in with the conversation and I would happily have allowed your rendition to pass on the merits of naivety 🤷 but since @Charlie0186 has called on the fact checkers ... this presents me with a very interesting thought, why is it not more common to see this type of structure that allows for a second floor amongst the vernacular; even in the rondavel hut structure this would have been structurally possible yet there does not seem to be any precedent of double story structures throughout Africa. One does come across the odd one or two in the informal townships but it is not often and these would have flat or low pitched roofs
I've done a little tweaking of your prompt to try to relocate the shebeen into more of an urban setting:
Well done, shebeens are definitely a cultural heritage here. Love the mood and atmosphere!
