Are you a parent at your wit's end due to Lego chaos in your house? Those little bricks can get everywhere, making your house a hazard to bare feet and an unsightly mess, but containing it or picking it all up every few hours doesn't seem to work either.
You may have even considered just throwing your little one's scattered toys away...
But, that might not be necessary anymore. A young innovator named Khanyisa 'Kaay' Kwaza, based in the Western Cape, is here to 'sort' this problem for you.
News24 spoke to Kwaza, a professional LEGO sorter, to find out how his clever business idea came about.

Kwaza told us that he grew up loving LEGO like any other child, enjoying building and creating with the popular little bricks all through primary school.
However, it wasn't until recently when he met Jessica Callaghan-Fox who helped him see the bigger picture and cultivated this love for LEGO into an income generating opportunity.
Kwaza had just matriculated, and was disappointed to learn that he was not accepted to study for the Public Management degree which he had dreamt of.
Finding employment was another mountain to climb, especially because he had no work experience whatsoever.
Considering his options, Kwaza decided to message Callaghan-Fox via Facebook, asking for any job opportunity.
Thankfully, while discussing Kwaza's skills and finding out where she could place him, it clicked that the efficient young man would be great at organising and sorting LEGO.
She suggested it to him, and "he shone like a star", she says.
Callaghan-Fox says that Kwaza is fantastic at organising as he is highly efficient, professional, and well-mannered too.
Currently, she is helping him develop and market his growing business. Currently, Kwaza is going around Cape Town, with a friend, sorting and organising LEGO and children's toys. He is focused on the Winelands, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek, and surrounding areas.
If you also need Kwaza's help to sort and organise your little one's toys, you can get in touch with Callaghan-Fox via email.
