One man's scrap, is another man's car
This is true for 17 year old, Obakeng Thetele from South Africa.
The teenager who really wanted a car, was told by his father that he would need to save up and wait until he finished school first.
Obakeng watched and assisted his father repair cars from a young age, so he used some scrap metals and spare parts and built his own car during the lockdown period in 2020.
