Meet South Africa's very own Iron Man. Keanu Rust of Queensburgh, KZN has turned his dream into a reality after he made an Iron Man outfit from scratch. 

This physical trainer by day and ingenious engineer/ "superhero" by night is making magic on the East Coast. He sits down with Stacey and J Sbu to answer our burning questions and mesmerise Marvel fans.

Take a listen to everything you need to know about this local legend: 

At just 22 years old, Keanu has founded Rust Industries, where he’s channeled his passion and skills into developing this impressive suit. His goal? To explore potential military applications on a global scale in the future. For now, Keanu’s creation lives in his home bringing joy to those who see it. 

In an exclusive interview with Stacey and J Sbu, Keanu shared insights into his journey, the inspiration behind his suit, and the intricate process that took him two years to complete. The suit, a labour of love, cost between R20 000 and R40 000, and while Keanu doesn’t typically make public appearances in it, there may be a chance for a special appearance—if the price is right.

Take a look at this one-of-a-kind suit created right here, in KwaZulu-Natal:
