Zaka, Zimbabwe. (News Of The South) – Scores of villagers from Zimhofu under Chief Ndanga in Zaka woke up to witness a shocking start of 2015 after over 30 pythons coming out of a grave last week.

Over 40 Zimhofu villages gathered in fear at a now abandoned Mudakwa family grave site
surrounding areas who were visibly shaken by the incident.

Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority spokesperson Caroline Washaya said all the 30 pythons were successfully rescued and are now at a safe place.

“We managed to respond timely to an alert about pythons found at Mudakwa family grave site in Zaka under Chief Ndanga. We rescued 30 young pythons after consulting the Chief,” said Washaya.

She emphasized on the need for villagers to report quickly of any stray wild animals as this prevent human or animals from injuries.

Zimhofu village head Jeremiah Matumbike told News of the South that he was in shock since it
was his first time to encounter such a situation.

“I am shocked by this incident…it all started as a joke when people told me that there were about 10 pythons at a grave in my village. However, when we came here on Wednesday, we discovered that in fact the pythons were more than 30.

“Everyone is in shock and I am now in a process of identifying people who might be related to the person buried in this grave,” said Matumbike.

Matumbike said he could not rule out that there could be something mysterious behind the coming out of the pythons.

“We have never seen not even one python here so where are these ones coming from… I
think this is mysterious and the relatives of the person buried here will assist us in mapping the way forward,” said Matumbike.
