Is a Tyre material shoe maker. He uses old car tyres to make shoes. He is supported by the locals and d local municipality. He is from Bushbackbridge, South Africa.

He started his trade in 1994. He learned the trade while working in Boksburg South Africa. When he lost his job, he used a pair he had to simulate many of his pairs. His 1st customers were from Europe and they sold for $1.

30 years later he makes a living off the shoes. He has 8 children and none of his kids want to learn the trade. His wife is his business partner. He is 68 years old.

He wishes he could have a proper shoe shop and more working tools.
