He patented his first patent in Grade 5 (!), a foot-operated tap. His second patent in Grade 6, “Drink without a sting”, which you use to open and close cooldrink cans after they have been opened. This patent has already been sent to Ohio by Bevcan for probable further implementation. He also invented an electronic device to warn blind people of objects in their way and named it “Eyes for the Blinds”.
He’s won the SABS Product Design Institute, HBD Venture Capital Award and attended the International Space School in Houston in August 2007.
Amazed? Well, he’s also 0/16A in water polo and rugby at Pretoria Boys High School. Oh, and he plays the drums.
Seems superhuman, doesn’t it?!
