Lewyn Maefala

Founder and the Project Manager of The Bush Babies Environmental Education Program. Lewyn Maefala joined Transfrontier Africa, the founding company of The Black Mambas APU, back in 2015 as a Tshwane University of Technology student doing her Work Integrated Learning for her National Diploma in Nature Conservation. In 2016 Lewyn started the Bush Babies Environmental Education Program with the aim to educate the local communities about the tireless work being done by the law enforcement team (The Black Mambas) and the research team (Rhino monitoring). The program started with 4 local primary schools and grew to adopt 6 more primary schools within the first year of operation. To date Lewyn educates over 2000 and 30 bush grannies in the rural villages of Phalaborwa area. In 2019 she trained 7 new Environmental Educators who has been working in Communities up to date. In 2023 Lewyn, as the Adult Leader at the Scouts South Africa, went to the Scouts training and upgraded her expertise, having received Wood Badge, which equals Level 3 in Scouts Leadership. Lewyn represented The Bush Babies EEP and Transfrontier Africa at the national and international events, including the recent Girl Child Conference in Johannesburg and The Global Gala for Rhinos at the Royal Geographical Society in London.
