The invention by a young local entrepreneur of foldaway, re-usable emergency housing units could solve a huge problem in this country.

Speaking at the televised official launch of the product at ZCBF Community Park on Tuesday, National Minister of Housing - Dr Lindiwe Sisulu said that the foldaway house was the first viable alternative to housing disaster victims in tents. This after a demonstration during which a foldaway house was erected in little over two minutes.
