We keep joking about Safaricom recycling old lines… until it happens to YOU.

Yesterday, someone showed me KRA messages they’ve been receiving demanding that a man called Leonard file returns.

But she’s NOT Leonard.

Meaning Leonard probably lost that line years ago, and Safaricom gave it to someone else. KRA assumes Leonard has been notified, and Leonard might not even be aware.

Now think deeper about this.

What if that old line was linked to:
🚨 Your bank
🚨 Your employer
🚨 SHA/NHIF
🚨 KRA
🚨 OTP codes
🚨 Confidential work messages
Do you realize a stranger could start receiving sensitive information meant for you?
And the scary part is this:
Even after updating your new number, many systems STILL keep sending alerts to the ORIGINAL line.
So someone out there could literally be receiving your:
-Bank alerts
-Salary notifications
-Tax reminders
-Private communication
because Safaricom decided your old number is now “available”.

This is not just inconvenient anymore.
It’s becoming a PRIVACY and SECURITY risk.
Safaricom seriously needs to stop selling people’s old lines so casually.

Do not rush out of the slippery bathroom to pick your calls. Cultivate the habit of calling back when you are done instead. Airtime is far cheaper than brain surgery.

Africa is full of surpsises

Ugandan police arrested a man for witchcraft, took him to court, and he responded by inviting bees to the court.

Everyone was attacked by the bees. He didn’t get a single sting.

Interesting to see a man running around with a fire 🔥 extinguisher.

Earth is hard , best such guys are left in peace.

Sometimes you hate people for not helping you, yet they are silently fighting battles bigger than yours in life but choose not to bother anyone because they know everyone is going through something hard.

A Kenyan by the name Elias Wekesa has taken Safaricom to court, and every Kenyan should pay attention.

He says Safaricom deactivated his line after it stayed inactive for a few months, then reassigned it to another person.

When he tried using it again, he was met with a shock.

The number was gone.

Worse, he says he could no longer receive OTPs from his bank and other platforms tied to that number.

This case matters because it touches every Kenyan.

Because your phone number is no longer just a number.

It is tied to your bank account.
Your email.
Your work accounts.
Your private life.

The moment that number is handed to someone else, the risks begin.
OTPs can go elsewhere.
Recovery codes can land in another person’s hands.

Account alerts can reach a stranger.

That person is not just holding a SIM card.
They may be holding access to parts of your digital life.

And if they have bad intentions, the damage can be immediate.

And for families who have lost loved ones, it cuts even deeper.

A parent’s number.
A sibling’s number.
A loved one’s number.

One day, it holds memories.

The next day, it belongs to a stranger.

This is why Safaricom must be forced to create stronger safeguards before reassigning numbers.
Because in today’s world, a phone number is not disposable.
It is identity.

And identity should never be reassigned without protection.
