The opening of the luxurious safari lodge Ritz-Carlton in the Masai Mara Reserve, with rates starting at 3.500 dollars per night, has sparked a fierce legal battle. Maasai leaders and conservationists have filed a lawsuit claiming that the hotel obstructs a key corridor of the Great Migration, endangering an extremely fragile ecosystem. Every year, millions of animals traverse these lands in search of fresh pastures and water. With construction right in the middle of this natural route, the animals have become confused and disoriented, making it difficult for them to complete their journey. Furthermore, according to the plaintiffs, the company allegedly ignored a regulation that suspended new constructions until 2032.
Rofhiwa Madima was shot to death in Venda, Limpopo, on 29 March 2025. Rofhiwa had been at home for a family celebration when gunmen entered the house, forced her to kneel, and shot her in front of her children and family.
It is alleged that she had obtained a protection order against an ex-boyfriend. He had allegedly threatened her life and warned that he would hire hitmen to kill her, saying she had only months left to live. No arrests have been made. We are heartbroken by the loss of yet another beautiful soul. When is enough, enough? #WomenForChange #UnburyTheTruth
