Before we go about telling you how you can get your silver token, we're going to tell you a little story about The Claw...
It was a slightly windy night in the western parts of Bloemfontein, Derek van Dam predicted moderate temperatures and low chance of rainfall. This was to be... an average night in the Free State.
A local supermarket owner steps outside and has a cigarette before turning back to lock up. The Claw, silently stood watch, it had laid dormant for years, reminiscing the joyful faces that peered into it from angles. The Claw was forgotten but why it was still being kept around like an old ugly vase no one knew.
[Many years later...]
A little drop of inspiration, an idea that would have the power to bring back memories fell into The Young Creative's worn down lap. After a bout of thoughts being thrown carelessly in the air, a search begun to make this childhood dream a reality, far and wide through taxi ranks and shut down game arcades. This continued with no luck for quite sometime, the dream slowly becoming a heavy nuisance. Could this be a failure?
[Many minutes later...]
The phone rang with a menacing shrill, lightning struck the SABC tower, and the pizza guy arrived. The Young Creative answered and within 4 minutes of off-peak talktime the dream started to come back, like the one where "Holey Moleys" can be bought at any corner store. The Claw had been located to the exotic land of Bloemfontein.
Carefully, The Claw was transported to Melville where it was refurbished to a new found glory. Donned with the agile leap of the PUMA, it was lifted through the mosaic doors of Braamfontein and up the stairs. A new home, a new life, a new start.
The SOCIAL Claw was Born
[The End... of this little story]

If you've been to PUMA Social Club Jozi you would of noticed the claw machine- on the right, next to the pool table, against the wall. The first 50 people through the door get a token and other tokens can be found at the bar, don't be shy and ask the bartender with the sweet moustache - he may not give you one, but you can ask.
The claw machine is filled up weekly with all sort of prizes ranging from key rings and mini ping-pong sets to R2000 vouchers that you can use to purchase whatever you like at the PUMA Store up the road. There's also vouchers for t-shirts and a very special voucher that allows to pick what ever pair of shoes you want from the PUMA Store.
You know what to do: get to PUMA Social Club Jozi early and get a drink.
