It is the story of a boy whose life was forever altered by a single, cataclysmic moment, and a man who chose to rise from the ashes, blazing brighter than ever.

The date was January 2010, a dusky afternoon heavy with the promise of rain and storms.

Thirteen-year-old Elisha, a bright-eyed Grade Seven pupil at Mupamombe Primary School, Kadoma, was heading home under a brooding sky.

Destiny, coiled like a serpent, waited in his path.

As the storm raged, live wires fell from wind-battered poles, snaking across the earth.

One step — one innocent, unknowing step — and Elisha’s world was struck by a bolt of lightning.

The electricity surged through him with brutal, unrelenting force.

When he awoke in a hospital bed, his arms were gone, taken to his life.

Ten months of pain, uncertainty and unimaginable struggle followed.

Yet in those long, agonising days, Elisha made a choice — not just to survive, but to rebuild, to reinvent, to thrive.

This was no ordinary recovery.

It was a transformation.
