Inspired by the constant developments of
technology, a 16 year old Olwethu Dineka who resides in Soshanguve creates
speakers. He started creating speakers at the age of 10.
He looks for plastic bottles and uses them as
it is unique. He gets these bottles from trash and also gets some of the parts
from old Tv's, radios and gadgets that are no longer in use.
He has never seen
anyone doing this. It all came from a mind of his own. His mom also contributes
by buying some parts. Challenges are always there when one tries to
accomplish a certain goal. At first Olwethu had a challenge in starting the
design. He did not let this discourage him, therefore he kept on trying till
the design was perfect.
His speakers are modern, they have features
like bluetooth, USB drive, memory card drive and unbelievably FM radio. Even though his mother ( Zandile Dineke)
feared that this would interfere with his school work, but noticed that he
managed his time as he would come back from school, do his school work and
later starts with his speakers.
When she noticed how he managed his time, she
then started supporting Olwethu's initiative. He wants to do mechanical
engineering after he has completed his matric. With the support from his mother
and friend (Mongezi) he will excel in his talent.
" Listen to your heart, if you have
drive for what you want to archive then no one will stop you", words from
Zandile Dineka.
