A 21-year old man from Limpopo builds his own Lamborghini to the surprise of neighbors and friends.
Although Mukundi Malovhele never excelled in arithmetic or physics, he had a natural talent for building things with his hands.
Using discarded materials and used auto parts, the reserved 21-year-old created an automobile that was motivated by his passion for the luxury automaker, Lamborghini.

He claimed he made the decision to try to construct himself a luxury car because he is unable to afford one.
“I’ve always loved the Lamborghini when I saw it on TV, so I decided to make one inspired by it because I can’t afford to buy it,” he said.
Malovhele, who resides in the Venda community of Tshipise Tshasagole-Niani, claimed he began gathering parts from scrap cars in order to construct his own vehicle. He decided to try it in 2017 after years of creating wire cars as inspiration.

“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.
As the son of a tomato and watermelon farmer, Malovhele’s lack of money hindered him from completing his own Lamborghini.
“My father sometimes spares me some money to buy some parts, but what I really need is a small engine,” he said.
While waiting for his matric results, he helps his father farm the land and sell their produce to other villagers while working on his designs.
“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.”
However, his neighbour Justice Mbedzi said people did not take him seriously when he started out. “It’s amazing because now people want to come to his house all the time to see the car,” said Mbedzi.
