According to Elegance 7 Malovhele, who resides at Tshipise Tshasagole-Niani village in Venda, said he started collecting scrap materials from old cars to build his own car. Inspired by his years of building wire cars, he decided to give it a go in 2017.

“I used to make wire cars when I was younger; this is a passion that has been within me for a long time,” he said.

Malovhele said lack of money has hindered him from completing it.

“My father sometimes spares me some money to buy some parts, but what I really need is a small engine.

“I want to become a mechanic and fix cars, but I also want to make my own car model because this is what I understand. My dream is to go to a technical college that will help me work on my skills.”
