Daniel is a multi-talented street musician from George in the Western Cape that took a simple bottle cap and made it into a saxophone to compliment his music
Corne Edwards was in George when he spotted Daniel strumming away on his guitar but when he started playing the saxophone with no sax in sight, Corne stopped to take a closer look.
That is how he learned that Daniel had turned a normal plastic water bottle top into an instrument that is just as good as the real deal. Corne pulled out his phone and asked Daniel to explain the concept.
Then he started playing it and well, it was phenomenal!
Corne shared the video on his Facebook page and people loved it. It quickly went viral and has been shared over 11 thousand times and viewed a whopping 362,000 times.
His talent has inspired the nation with many complimenting his creativity and skill.
