MPHAHLELE is a 16 year-old black student from LIMPOPO who developed a prototype smart earring designed to help women signal for help during an attack. She earned bronze at the ESKOM expo for young scientists in engineering – electronics – and now needs investors and technical partners to take... our invention from prototype to production #BlackExcellenceshow more

As a person who has judged many Expos and represented South Africa at the international science expo in 1993 in Amarillo Texas in 1993, I can definitely say that a bronze for an invention of that sort is a failure of judging. Definitely should be a gold.

And let’s hope some big tech company doesn’t steal her idea. Where is the GoFundMe page I’m ready

This is how I know we will win against the evil. Great job girlie!

Is it possible for small investors to get in on this amazing invention? Black excellence at its best. Old 73 yo white woman is ready to invest. Anyone else?

Wow what an amazing young lady!!

Her invention attracted national attention after it was presented at the 2020 Eskom Expo for Young Scientists, where she received a bronze medal in the engineering, electronics and embedded systems category. Curious to know the status of her prototype now in 2026

Making the signal part of an ordinary object is the strongest design choice here. Safety tools work best when discreet, but production still needs testing for false triggers, battery life, privacy, and what happens after an alert.

They’re going to try to steal it from her!!!!

I'm an Engineer and im willing to mentor her to refine the idea and work with her on how to get funding. I'll do it for free. Where can I get contact to her?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

She needs a GoFundMe

Wow. She should simplify and/or clarify her name; she's got so much 2 offer the world. @BlackQueenLara also had an immense creation that was STOLEN from her, and she still hasn't gotten any #PayBack after decades! Let that be a 🚨2 the #BlackExcellence🏆

Wow! She’s brilliant.

Hopefully, she has a federal patent on this invention of hers.

This was 7 years ago. She is now 21 and still seeking venture capital for her invention!

Self hating white people need to be stopped

Kudos!

@grok what’s her full name & how can she be reached?

@JTBlackstone Wow, if she got bronze for this, WTF got silver and gold????

She will go far!

Lol, that isn't an invention. Gluing a mini-came lapel camera on an earring stud 9r putting one inside an ear gauge is merely placement of something that already exists.

Amazing, take care and support this wonderful girl!

Brillant.

I still like the razor blade condom better.

That's not an invention . This is what they do. They take an idea already in place and just change it. That's like taking a clock that was on the wall and making it into a watch on your wrist. Then saying you invented it. You're a fucking loser cuck

@Mamabenergy2 I’ll take things that didn’t fucking happen for 6 million Alex.

Good! Africa need more hopefuls like her. GOD bless her enterprise 🙏

@Mamabenergy2 Let’s hope that big tech doesn’t abuse her or her great invention.

💜💟💜💟💜

This is great. Glad you shared it

That’s actually a really good idea
