Owesifazane Wasenhlakanhlaka Uhlaselwe Inyoka Eya Endlini Yangasese
CONISTON, KWAZULU-NATAL— Owesifazane oneminyaka engama-21 ubudala wase-Coniston uhlangabezane nencithabuthongo ngoLwesithathu ebusuku ngesikhathi elunywa inyoka ngenkathi eya endlini yangasese engaphandle.
Lesi sigameko siphinde sagqamisa ubungozi obubhekene nezakhamuzi ezihlala ezindaweni lapho kusasetshenziswa khona izindlu zasendlini zasendle, ikakhulukazi ngezikhathi zasebusuku.
Ngokwemibiko, lesi sigameko senzeke ngemva nje kwehora lesishiyagalombili (20:00) ebusuku. Amalungu ophiko lwe-Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) abizelwe kule ndawo ngezithuba zabo-20:03 ngemuva kokuthola ucingo lokuphuthuma olucela usizo.
Amaphoyisa ophiko lwe-RUSA afike kule ndawo amthola lona wesifazane esaphaphame kahle, ekwazi nokuchaza konke okwakwenzekile.
Umlisela obelimele ubike ukuthi ubeya endlini yangasese engaphandle ngesikhathi kwenzeka lokhu. Ngenxa yobumnyama nokungaboni kahle endleleni, akazange ayibone inyoka ebisendleleni yakhe. Uthe ngenkathi eqhubeka nokuhamba, unyathele phezu kwaso lesi silwane ngaphandle kokwazi, okuyilapho inyoka ibe isizivikela ngokumluma.
Uyichaze le nyoka njengebenombala omnyama kodwa akakwazanga ukubona kahle ukuthi hlobo luni. Inyoka imlume emlenzeni wesokudla ngaphambi kokuba ibaleke ishabalale ezihlahleni eziseduze.
Nakuba lona wesifazane ebebonakala ethukile futhi enovalo, ukwazile ukuxoxela abatakuli imininingwane egcwele. Ngesikhathi abahloli bezempilo be-RUSA bembheka, ukhale kakhulu ngokuzizwa enenzululwane.
Ngenhlanhla, akazange abonise izimpawu ezinzima ezivame ukuhambisana nokulumwa izinyoka ezinobuhlungu obubulalayo, njengokuvuvukala okukhulu, ukuhluleka ukuphefumula, noma ukuquleka.
Nokho, ngenxa yokuthi isihlungu senyoka asitabeki nokuthi uhlobo lwenyoka belungaziwa, kuthathwe isinqumo sokuthi ayiswe esibhedlela ukuze ayohlolisiswa kahle.
Owesifazane uhlelelwe ezokuthutha ezizimele ezimuse esikhungweni sezempilo esiseduze lapho odokotela bebezokwazi ukubheka isimo sakhe eduze nokumnikeza usizo olufanele uma izimpawu ziba zimbi kakhulu.
Izigameko ezinjengalesi zisebenza njengesikhumbuzo ngobungozi obungaba khona ezindaweni lapho izilwane zasendle nemisebenzi yabantu kuhlangana khona, ikakhulukazi emiphakathini yasemakhaya. Izinyoka zivame ukunyakaza kakhulu ngezikhathi zakusihlwa lapho kushisa, zifuna indawo yokukhosela noma ukudla eduze nemizi yabantu, okwandisa amathuba okuhlangana nabantu okungalindelekile.
