A reporter's account

Speaking about the incident on UTV, a reporter noted that preliminary evidence indicates that some young people believing that the snake could give them ritual money left it at the scene.

He claimed that the ritualist who gave the young men the serpent had instructed them to feed it eggs for 30 days before expecting it to vomit money for them.

After the young guys opened the box on the last day and the serpent did not perform as anticipated, they gave it back along with the 'gift' they had received.

He claimed that the men suspected to be the owners of the box came from nowhere to pick up the box with the snake in it and left.

The incident has left the Nkurakan residents in fear as they alleged that the chop box was found near the place where a 6-month-old baby who had gone missing for some hours on Saturday was found dead.
