Wheeling Across Africa for the Disabled


Zachary Kimotho lost the use of his legs in 2004 when a gunman shot him in an attempted car-hijacking. He is now wheeling himself 4,000km away from Kenya, to the nearest spinal rehabilitation clinic, in Cape Town. Kimotho hopes to raise 250 million Kenyan shillings to build a rehabilitation centre in Kenya along the way. He also hopes to draw attention to the way disabled people are treated right across this continent. Peter Greste reports from Nairobi. Video courtesy of Aljazeera English.
