Photos never quite do a space justice, but ours are up now, so have a look anyway.

Exposed brick desk pods, the vinyl lounge, the break area with Table Mountain doing its thing through the window, the podcast studio, the book exchange, even the arcade machine that lives by the kitchen. It's less "here's an office" and more "here's what 15 years of getting the details right actually looks like."

Or skip the photos and come see it in person: https://capetownoffice.com/book-a-viewing

Take a look inside Cape Town Office, coworking in Cape Town since 2011. 62 Roeland Street, Gardens.

One of our members is quietly digitising African legislation so that anyone on the continent can access the law for free.

Greg Kempe is co-founder and head of technology at Laws.Africa. Before that, he spent six years at Amazon working on EC2 and was CTO at civic tech non-profit OpenUp. These days he works from Cape Town Office and builds infrastructure that governments across Africa actually use.

He's the next guest on Who's behind the desk, our podcast featuring the people in this space. The full episode is landing soon.

Pt.3/ Women who Shaped South Africa

Pt.2/ Women who Shaped South Africa

10/08/2026

Pt.1/ 70 years ago this month, 20 000 women marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to stand against the pass laws. It remains one of the largest protest marches in south african history, and the courage behind it is still worth talking about.

For women's month, we put together a carousel of some of the women who shaped the freedom south africa enjoys today, both politically and socially. From Charlotte Maxeke, the first Black woman in southern Africa to earn a university degree, to Mamokgethi Phakeng, the first Black south african woman to earn a PhD in mathematics education, right through to the leaders of the 1956 march itself: Lilian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, Rahima Moosa and Sophia Williams-De Bruyn.

Have a look through and let us know who you'd add to the list.
