The best course of action is to revoke access from that device and change passwords

Are you in cape town and did you log in from a new device or linked your google account to a new signup?

Are you using a VPN?

The above orginates to my home IP
 
Could be your iPhone or iPad too, especially if you used them in Desktop mode with Safari.
