Meet the 21-year-old Limpopo man who spent 4 years building his own Lamborghini from scratch

Anyone who’s ever done it will tell you there’s not much to compare with the feeling of power and freedom that comes from chewing up the highway in a Lamborghini – an agile, low-slung, high-performance supercar with few rivals.

As a little boy, Mukundi Malovhele (21) dreamt of getting behind the wheel of one of these babies and putting pedal to the metal but he knew his dream was a far-fetched one.

After all, this car goes for big, big bucks – in South Africa, a second-hand Lamborghini costs between R2 million and R4m and brand new goes for a cool R5m, and you’d have to be mega-rich or mega-foolish to buy one.
