Frequently Asked Questions
What is “The Lekker Network”?
The Lekker Network is where we connect the dots between South Africans around the world. This includes not only South Africans living abroad but also those locally, all connected to create a network of opportunity.
What makes The Lekker Network different from other business networks?
The Lekker Network draws inspiration from existing membership networks, adding a distinctly South African flair. We’re approaching this with an Active Networking mindset focused on connecting the right people who can open doors worldwide while giving global South Africans access to talent and business opportunities back home. It’s built on a shared mindset and value system, where everyone can contribute and thrive.
How are members selected?
There is an interview and vetting process conducted via a video interview. This interview will provide information about the network and help us determine if we share the same values. If aligned, you’ll be invited to join the network.
