Kairo making money moves

A few weeks ago, Kairo bagged her very first TV commercial. She is part of Nedbank’s first-ever Roblox game called Chow Town.

According to Nedbank’s group executive, marketing and corporate affairs, Khensani Nobanda, who shared Kairo’s ad on Instagram, Chow Town is a “restaurant tycoon game that lets your kids build and operate a restaurant with customers, South African food options, and in-game currency. Let them play, learn and earn on the Roblox game that fosters business skills. Search for Chow Town on Roblox”.

On its website, the bank highlighted that the game is designed to teach kids, aged 9 to 12, important financial lessons.

“It features a different mix of international and South African food items to prepare for their customers. Players must set up, expand and manage a virtual restaurant.

“As the preteen empire-builders develop their entrepreneurial instincts by earning badges as rewards to reinvest, they also learn crucial financial management skills through incremental investment in their virtual restaurant.”
