The Poliso home is one of the original core houses built in Alex in the 1940s. It was the home of Topsy Piliso an activist in the 1950s and and founder of the anti-TB Association. -- It is interesting to note the May 2012 opening of 'Heritage Enterprise' a shop attached to the Piliso Home. Along with 'Heritage Corner' opposite the Mandela Home, it indicates a healthy growth in entrepreneurial activity associated with Alexandra's Heritage Sites.
