Carl Joshua Ncube, Wife Speak On Living In A Tent, Caravan
Standup comedian Carl Joshua Ncube and his wife Nelsy said they decided to move into a tent because they were tired of paying rent at accommodation facilities which they rarely use.
After the Victoria Falls Carnival last year, the couple decided to move out of their lodgings in the resort town and stay in a tent at the Rest Camp. Noticing how convenient it was as they were staying right in the CBD, they decided to challenge themselves to construct a caravan. They are currently refurbishing a coster vehicle which was donated by a well wisher in Victoria Falls. The caravan which they have named Bumblebee, already has a bed, couch, refrigerator, power points and working lights. It is nearing completion with the two targeting to move in soon.
Speaking on the conversion of the coster into a caravan Carl Joshua Ncube said:
We were given a bus shell that we’re converting into a solar powered caravan. We’ve already started the process of converting the bus into a living room. It’ll have one bed, L shaped couch, kitchen sink, stove and a bathroom with a shower and toilet. The process has been amazing and a learning experience though it’s also been challenging. I had to learn to do carpentry which is something that I have never done before in my entire life. We’re getting our notes on the conversion from YouTube.
Once the solar powered caravan is ready, Carl said he will use it to tour Africa where he has comedy shows lined up. He has already been booked for 20 shows in eight countries. But before touring, either him or Nelsy need to buy a car which they will use to tow the caravan and most importantly, acquire driver’s licences.
