Chief Yaw Ennin, a talented Ghanaian repairer has created a machine made up of plywood, nails and other tools purposely for pounding fufu.

Fufu is a Ghanaian delicacy that is prepared by putting boiled cassava and plantain in a mortar and pounding them until they blend together into a heavy ball.

This is a stressful process as it usually requires someone to do the hitting whilst another person turns the meal in the mortar continuously until it's ready.

The inventor reportedly runs his own small enterprise called Chief Masks Ventures at Obuasi in Ashanti Region and can be reached on 054 599 6649.
