Cape man upcycles plastic bottles for study lamps
When Siphamandla Ntshewula was studying for matric in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, his family used to tell him the bright ceiling lights prevented them from sleeping. To continue his studies without affecting his family, he came up with the idea of making desk lamps from plastic bottles.
Ntshewula, from T Section in Site B, matriculated in 2017. Now 21 years old, he says he knows what a struggle it can be to study in a house you share with a big family.
“I found that when I would study at night, I would get complaints from my aunt to switch off the light because it was too bright. And as you can see, I live in a fairly spacious house. What about those students who live in one-roomed shacks?” said Ntshewula.
