jobs. He trained as a structural engineer but he has also

worked such as a circus performer as well as running his

swimming pool just inside of his front door. The invention

heard how hard it was for people in the South Africa to

hear news and health warnings without have electricity.

His solution to this problem was a very successful, with

doesn't want to stop there however. His most latest

idea is to set up a company which will help other inventors

to get on their ideas into production.
