Meet Nkateko Mzimba, a powerhouse protector of wildlife and community. At just 32, Nkateko has become a symbol of resilience and leadership. Starting her journey in 2014 with Transfrontier Africa NPC and the Department of Fisheries, Forestry, and the Environment, she trained with Pro-Track Anti-Poaching Academy and became one of the original members of the Black Mamba Anti-Poaching Unit—South Africa’s trailblazing all-female ranger team. From braving rhino poaching incursions to rising as a Sergeant, MediaLiaison and Driver, Nkateko, now leads foot and vehicle patrols in Olifants West Nature Reserve, helping keep rhinos safe, without ever carrying a weapon.
