The young people of this country are the ones that will save this country. Once we return to the values of meritocracy in public service, such talent will not go to waste.
If you are in Mombasa, Mtwapa, Kilifi, Kikambala, or Takaungu today and you keep hearing a strange high-pitched plane making endless circles, relax. Nothing suspicious is happening.
We can reveal that calibration works are currently underway at Moi International Airport.
The aircraft in question is ENF01, an Italian Piaggio P.180 Avanti operated by ENAV. We tracked it back in 2022 in Italy, back then.
Its job is to recalibrate and test:
- ILS landing systems
- airport radio communication systems
- radar equipment
- Instrument approach systems used by aircraft landing in Mombasa
That is why it keeps making repeated loops over the Coast.
And yes, the reason it sounds so unusual is that the P.180 Avanti has rear-facing propellers that produce that very high-pitched sound.
So if you see it multiple times today over the Coast, now you know.
Follow me, Sholla Ard, for more information to come.
In Kruger National Park, South Africa, veteran ranger Sipho Nkosi suffered a heart attack while on solo patrol. His vehicle was found empty, and search teams began looking for him.
What the park’s remote trail cameras revealed broke the hearts of everyone who saw the footage.
An old bull elephant — known to rangers as “Mnumzane” (Zulu for “Sir”) — had found Sipho’s body. For three full days and nights, the elephant refused to leave. He stood guard, gently touching the ranger with his trunk, chasing away hyenas and jackals that came too close, and even covering parts of the body with branches and leaves.
On the third night, the elephant was still there — visibly grieving, swaying slowly beside his fallen friend. Only when the full recovery team arrived with vehicles did Mnumzane finally step back, watching solemnly as they carried Sipho away.
Park officials later confirmed that Sipho had rescued this same elephant as a calf years earlier after poachers killed his mother. The elephant had never forgotten.
One colleague who viewed the footage whispered:
“He didn’t come to say goodbye. He came to make sure no one disrespected his brother.”
Mnumzane still visits the exact spot regularly. Rangers now leave fresh water and fruit there in honor of both.

Who are these two men? They are Marcus Harvey and Tre Jones from Marion, Indiana. They should have been all over the news but they weren't...
Some time ago they saw a house fully engulfed in flames with people still inside.
So they kicked in the front door and risked their own lives to save the occupants inside.
None of the occupants would still be alive if it wasn’t for them.
Neither one gave a second thought about anybody’s color, they just did what was right.
These are the heroes the media tends to not show us.
