Necessary Evil (4)
Simon Skhosana, a 50 year -old man lost his job and became unemployed. The father of two thought of building a pedal car from scratch to be taking his children to school
The car is one of many such creations Simon has built since losing his job more than 10 years ago, and they have made him quite popular in his hometown, Moloto, northeast of Pretoria.
Simon is happy he gets to take his kids to school when it rains or is very cold. He says there was a time when his boy had to go to the hospital but they didn't have enough money for transport, so Simon put his son and his wife in the backseat and off they went. He is very proud of this moment.
The car is operated by using 2 chains to pedal it. It has 11 gears, a foot brake, a steering wheel, rear view mirrors and a manually operated windscreen wiper. He uses locks to secure the door and always ensures his 'busy bee' son is locked in, because he likes to open the doors while they are moving. He also hooks up a homemade trailer to his car when he has heavier objects to transport.
Had this man not lost his job, he might not have thought to build any car that will ease his family from stress, save them a lot of money and even make him popular.
No one prays for evil, but when the unexpected happens, think of the positive aspect and move on to next level.
