Gbedu Nights come home to Mix Cocktail Bar

Mesh Club — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 10:40:40 +0000

Gbedu Nights come home to Mix Cocktail Bar

Gbedu Nights is a monthly cosmopolitan music event focused on celebrating music
from our continent and the diaspora. The event is the brainchild of three talented
afrobeats djs who are knowledgeable in the African music space. Boujeena, Kat
Upendi, and Spokenpriestess are at the forefront of the afrobeats genre with their
collective ‘The Afrobeats Space’. The platform was founded with the intention to
promote, share, and celebrate afrobeats music. The ladies have taken their knack for

African music selection to another level by curating an event where both lovers of
afrobeats and those who are curious about it can come together and connect.
We cater for an alternative, non-pretentious night life experience that focuses solely
on afrobeats, afro-pop, bongo, kizomba, kuduro, and ndombolo music. While the
current trend in restaurants and clubs is amapiano, afrobeats and other African
music genres don’t have platforms where they can live uninterrupted. There’s a clear
gap for a nighttime experience that delves deeper than the well-known afrobeats hits
on radio, TV, or in the top 10 hits chart. Gbedu Nights is for the lovers and
connoisseurs of African sounds.

Join the next event!

Member’s Spotlight: Think Creative Africa

Mesh Club — Tue, 23 Aug 2022 16:29:07 +0000

Member’s Spotlight: Think Creative Africa

Meet our members: Some of South Africa’s top creatives have found their professional home at MESH Members Club in offices that allow their teams to have a space to work, meet, socialise and connect.

This powerhouse through-the-line agency is based at MESH Members Club in our executive, fully-serviced offices.

Thinking and creating for Africa and beyond: A creatively-led, insight-driven creative agency, solving business problems through a uniquely African perspective. Think Creative was founded in 2016 by CEO Mukondi Ralushayi Kgomo and COO Nkgabiseng Motau.

They’re known for combining truly African creativity and data-led Insights to generate ideas that solve business problems whilst positively impacting society. This team is poised for greatness with clients like AA, Diageo, Unilever, Spar, DSTV, Engen, Vodacom and Supersport in their portfolio.

We took a moment to catch up with CEO and Co-founder, Mukondi Ralushayi Kgomo: Mukondi began her career eleven years ago as a copywriter at Ogilvy Johannesburg then moved to FCB Africa where she worked on multiple blue-chip brands before venturing into the entrepreneurship world. She has won numerous advertising awards and serves as a recurring judge for Creative Circle, Loeries, Pendorings and Cannes Young Lions. She offers her time as a mentor for The One Club Creative Bootcamp and the Loeries Open Chair organization.

She is known for having created some of South Africa’s most loved ads, including Coca-Cola’s Bobby
commercial, which became the best practice in over 90 countries, but she regards her finest
achievement as the impact work she gets to make on society through projects like The Feel
Party, which she co-founded to bring awareness to breast cancer. In addition, Mukondi’s charity
work spans over ten years, from raising funds for school kids, volunteering at a hospice and
donating to various charities. She has presented on topics such as entrepreneurship, being a woman in business and the creative industry on various platforms, including GIBS. She has also been featured by Destiny
Magazine, Radio 702, Kyk Net and Bizcommunity, to name a few.

Mukondi shared 8 quick-fire facts about herself.

- Ten years of advertising experience
- Recurring Loeries, Pendorings, Creative Circle and Cannes Young Lions judge
- M&G Young 200 South Africans
- Marketing Practitioner SA
- The One Club Creative Bootcamp and Loeries Open Chair mentor
- Personality trait: A stubborn optimist
- Recovering chocoholic… Okay I’m lying, still a chocoholic!
- 2022 word: Growth
