Shot in a South African township: KwaThema.
This games room forms part of a the KwaThema Chess Academy and is one of its major source of revenue. There is so much energy in the room. To think that most of the children here are such good chess players that they are always getting places in the top chess tournaments!

technical infotechnical info

The Chess Academy gets almost no funding, so the profits that comes from these game machines means that the children in the area can be taught chess.

I remember playing on those things! Alas, now the X-box is my 'video-game'

muy bueno
quisiera ir a Sudáfrica

duartenun (Duarte), Apr 25

lol, yes gaming consoles just aren't as fun as these things, there is something about getting together in a space that is just for gaming that is really exiting, plus the chaotic sound of all the other machines playing at the same time.

Damn man, they dont have Wiis?
I couldnt live with out one!

ginolandy (Gino), Apr 26

well not everyone can afford the incredibly overpriced Wii.

ecachucho (Eduardo - South Africa), Apr 27

Over priced wii? What market are you in? Last i saw, they were so cheap that demand still over ran supply and you just couldn't find one at retail - don't blame nintendo for online scalpers selling at 3x retail, just wait in line longer at the games shop

hi bitfulng,
well in South Africa they are very overpriced compared to x-box and playstation 3.
