Two days of learning, connecting and growing. GCUC Africa is produced by Antonette Benting.

Antonette Benting sits with Liz Elam about GCUC Africa, regional leadership, and what operators everywhere can learn from the innovation happening across the African coworking ecosystem on the GCUC podcast.

Antonette Benting shares that Workshop17 are opening a beach-side workspace in Muizenberg, in South Africa’s Western Cape province. Who wouldn’t want to swap brolly stands for surfboard stands?

Antonette Benting and Andries Levi Pretorius share that Workshop17 are set to open a 2,455 sqm workspace in September 2026 in Hazelwood, Pretoria.

Fun fact: Pretoria is one of South Africa’s 3 capital cities, alongside Cape Town and Bloemfontein. Think that’s fun? They also have 12 official languages.

Antonette Benting highlights the core message she travelled from South Africa to Boston to share with us all.

"Crafting spaces that inspire creativity and innovation should also prioritize geographical accessibility to have a real impact. Let’s unite efforts to diminish barriers and create connections together." Yes!
