-Cassper Nvovest is a platinum selling rapper from Mafikeng.
-Morgan Beatboxer is an international celebrity beatboxer. According to his website he is the only one who can provide eight sounds at the same time!
They are going to have separate play areas. For the preschoolers – Nick Jnr – soft play area and puzzles. Then kids in the NickToons area can climb a monster wall and participate in a speed testing balloon pop. Tweens and Teens in the Nickelelodeon area will have a magic show and a massive climbing wall.
Don’t forget to bring a change of clothes and towels as there will be green slime everywhere!
