JOHANNESBURG - A 17-year-old is desperately trying to escape Robben Island.
Luca Amerseder has taken his school assignment to a whole new level.
The scope was to choose a project involving research and a practical element.
And, so as you do, he decided to swim the icy Atlantic from Robben Island to Cape Town.
The campaign has already raised R26,000 for Genesis Ministries, which takes care of the ill.
