Claude Kikunda, aged 28, an unemployed Social Sciences graduate living in Lumbashi, Congo picked up the carcass of a Toyota Mark II & turned it into a limo by hand… He grew up watching his father, a mechanic, fixing cars.
He said : Thank you for your encouragement by far and close, I am very moved, delighted. In fact, on this limo, it’s not a montage of two cars, but rather one. A lot of questions are about the chassis. If you say there is no machine in the congo to make the chassis, and well détromper you because I made it. So it’s a chassis I made custom-made in my workshop. The pictures talk about it…

Ni nani hujilea? Maybe he showed the skill early but did not get the chance to pursue it further. Rarely, if at all. do you get someone wanting to do badly in life.
if this car was built by a graduate from europe (same age as Claude) haungekwa na doubts. in fact ungekuwa hapa saying ohh see how europeans grads are innovative while our grads nikusumbua tu bla bla. 'We Africans are our own weakness. Instead of promoting our own we pull each other down. Look at the likes of Zuckerberg (Facebook), if he was an African do u think FB ingekuwa a success? Kuna games mingi on googleplay developed by African graduates but no one will dare download them… would rather download a game developed by a 14 year old somewhere in Switzerland.
Hiyo ikipita 40kph nawaambia wanishukishe. si kwa ubaya. ni vile tu pole haiwes saidia. mimi kitu najua gari lazma upigie hesabu. ata hiyo chassis lazma upigie hesabu ya beam under stress and compression.
