What is The Lekker Network?
The Lekker Network (TLN) is a high-trust, help-first community that connects South African entrepreneurs, executives, and innovators around the world. With nearly 500 members across 26 countries and 40+ cities, TLN makes it easier for South Africans to connect, collaborate, and do business together from Cape Town to London, Dubai, New York, and beyond.
At its core is a simple ethos: “How can I help you?” Members share knowledge, open doors, and create real opportunities for one another, including warm introductions, pilot projects, partnerships, and jobs.
Signature belief: One lekker connection can change your life.
Why TLN Works
Global reach, local trust
Members find relevant peers by industry and geography, then meet in local chapters for real-world momentum.
Curated signal
Sessions and threads focus on what is working, who needs help, and who can help now.
Opportunity engine
A give-first culture turns introductions into pilots, partnerships, and new roles.
