Zenzele Nkala, founder of 307 Gaming Zone, said: “We would like to introduce [chess] to schools and the youth in the area as well. So, we incentivise it to an extent, that if you can come and play against one of our guys and you win, you can play on the rest of the games for 30 minutes for free.”
Nkala added that he wanted the gaming zone to be a family friendly space, where people could relax comfortably and play all sorts of games, including chess.
