@Mesiafela Herbie Hancock once said 'Music is the tool to express life – and all that makes a difference.' I think in this Peter Gabriel's cover he sums it up perfectly.#POWERExperience
South African teenager Bohlale Mphahlele developed an innovative personal safety device designed to look like a simple piece of jewelry.
Known as the Alerting Earpiece, the device is built to resemble a regular earring while discreetly containing a small camera and emergency alert system.
When activated, the earpiece can capture images and send a distress signal to selected contacts. The alert can also include the wearer’s live GPS location, helping trusted individuals or emergency responders locate the person quickly.
The idea behind the design is to provide a discreet safety tool that can be used in situations where reaching for a phone or drawing attention may not be possible.
Mphahlele presented the concept at the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists, where the project received recognition from judges and education officials.
Her invention highlights how young innovators are using technology to address real-world challenges, particularly around personal safety and rapid emergency communication.

Businessman and political activist Thomas Mtobi Mapikela (1869-1945), c early 1940s. Mapikela was engaged in making furniture of many descriptions for schools around Bloemfontein. In a speech on 25 November 1940, Mapikela said: "I am the man who made all the furniture for Grey College and the University of the Orange Free State and the Europeans, some Europeans, asked why a native should be allowed to take the bread out of the mouth of their children. Not that I do not understand my trade... a member of Parliament said that he would not allow a native to do the work, which should be done by Europeans. We are dismissed. You are running the whole show... but please treat us better". Image Source: National Museum, Bloemfontein
@HistorySAZAR I must say "And She Didn't Die" remains one of my best collections I have. You find yourself having a picture of the story in you mind as you read it.
Today, I spoke before the House Foreign Affairs Committee to oppose H.R. 2633. This bill, driven by Extreme MAGA ideology, risks dismantling decades of diplomatic progress with #SouthAfrica. There is no #whitegenocide in South Africa: this false narrative must be rejected.
