A brilliant 16-year-old South African girl named Bohlale Mphahlele has invented a groundbreaking safety device disguised as an earring.
The “Alerting Earpiece” looks like normal jewelry but hides a tiny camera, GPS tracker, and emergency alert system. With one discreet press, it can secretly photograph an attacker, send distress alerts with the wearer’s live location to trusted contacts and police — all without needing a phone or obvious movement.
She created it to help protect women and girls in dangerous situations, especially in response to high rates of gender-based violence in South Africa.
An inspiring story of innovation and courage from a young inventor.
The system is upset that you still remember June 25. It is even more disturbed that your memory is not vague, but graphic —that you remember what happened that day, what followed in its wake, and what has continued to unfold ever since. This was not to be remembered.
The new and improved Lewa Safari Camp is officially OPEN! We are thrilled to welcome you back to a completely reimagined safari experience.
While we’ve elevated our spaces for more comfort and luxury, our core mission remains exactly the same.

Anytime a man is imagining himself as a woman, it’s always in a soft girl, a baddie, a working class madam. It’s never a submissive wife, a full time house wife or a mother of 7.
We all know what we are doing
Team Lewa was thrilled to take part in the @SafaricomPLC CEO Run earlier today, a fantastic precursor to the upcoming @LewaSafMarathon.
A huge thank you to everyone who stepped out to run for a cause. See you at the main event in a few weeks!
Since its inception, the @LewaSafMarathon has helped channel support into real, measurable change:
$532,543 has been invested in improving access to healthcare for communities around Lewa and beyond, strengthening clinics, services, and care where it is needed most.

"Why do Americans think that their lives are more important than the lives of Kenyans?"
My CNN report on the public opposition to an Ebola isolation facility for Americans in Kenya
KNH the biggest public hospital in Kenya is on its knees , but the health CS says we have the capability of tackling Ebola just because a fat cheque has been signed somewhere
EBOLA is the most lethal contagious disease in the world. It has no treatment or vaccination.
Bringing Americans who are exposed to EBOLA to Kenya for whatever reasons is an act of HIGH TREASON as it exposes EVERYONE to extinction.
It must be opposed, resisted and overturned. No Ifs or Buts.
