Outlook

Twenty-one years ago, Martin Brown from Johannesburg in South Africa, had a devastating accident that left him paralysed from the shoulders down - able to move only his head, mouth and eyes. But he hasn't let it hold him back. Since then, Martin has become an entrepreneur - designing and manufacturing specialist wheelchairs. Outlook's Mpho Lakaje has been to meet him. (Photo credit: Mpho Lakaje.)
