Paralympic bronze medalist Achmat Hassiem

Backchat kicked off today with an interview with Cape Town swimmer Achmat Hassiem. The 30 year old had his leg beaten off by a shark 6 years ago after luring it away from his brother. Hassiem was part of Team South Africa's 2012 London Paralympic games squad where he won bronze in the men's 100 meter butterfly. He shared with us what it was like to represent SA, winning that medal and his plans for the future.
