\u2019n Kapenaar, so effens aan die maer kant, het Vrydag n\u00e1 meer as vyf maande besluit om uit sy wegkruipplek te kom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 slang, bes moontlik die een wat veroorsaak het dat die vlie\u00ebnier Rudolf Erasmus op 3 April vanjaar \u2019n noodlanding in Welkom moes uitvoer, het die land behoorlik aan die praat gehad en selfs oorsee die nuus gehaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chris Hobkirk, \u2019n slangkenner en direkteur van Lowveld Venom Suppliers, s\u00ea dit was Vrydag baie warm in Mbombela. Hy s\u00ea verskeie mense het gebel om te vra dat slange verwyder moet word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was oproep nommer agt vir die dag en iemand is na die lughawe om \u2019n slang te vang.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hobkirk s\u00ea Marcus Riefler, \u2019n slangvanger, het hom gebel en ges\u00ea hy dink hy het \u2019n Kaapse kobra gevang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het gedink daar is geen manier nie, maar toe ek die foto sien, het ek besef dit is inderdaad \u2019n Kaapse kobra.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hobkirk s\u00ea hy het skielik besef dat dit die slang moet wees wat maande vroe\u00ebr saam met Erasmus uit Worcester gevlieg het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het dit bymekaargesit en gekliek dit moet di\u00e9 slang wees. Ek het vir hom ges\u00ea dit is daardie koperkapel, kobra, geelslang, noem hom wat jy wil, dit is daardie slang wat uit die vliegtuig gekom het!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hobkirk s\u00ea die slang het nie iets te ete gekry nie en hy is maer, maar is nou in goeie hande by Lowveld Venom Suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hobkirk s\u00ea sy maatskappy verskaf slanggif aan \u2019n maatskappy wat teengif vervaardig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jaco Potgieter, eienaar van die Beechcraft Baron-vliegtuig, s\u00ea die vliegtuig word weekliks gebruik en dat daar elke nou en dan \u2019n spottery is oor die slang en wanneer hy gaan kop uitsteek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea dit bly maar in \u2019n mens se agterkop dat die ongenooide gas dalk nog aan boord kan wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erasmus is in April w\u00eareldwyd geloof vir sy koelkop-optrede toe hy op \u2019n hoogte van ongeveer 9 000 voet noord van Welkom besef het daar is \u2019n slang saam met hom en sy passasiers aan boord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erasmus het die Sondag voor die vlug by medevlie\u00ebniers gehoor dat \u2019n slang op Worcester se lughawe by die vliegtuig gesien is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het geglo die slang het padgegee \u2013 totdat die reptiel tydens die vlug te voorskyn gekom het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erasmus het toestemming gekry om in Welkom te land, waar \u2019n slangvanger tevergeefs na die slang gesoek het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die vliegtuig is selfs gedeeltelik uitmekaar gehaal om na die verstekeling te soek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Soektog in Mbombela het ook niks opgelewer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die vliegtuig is in Mbombela in die vliegtuigloods geparkeer wanneer dit nie in gebruik is nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 plek is teenaan waar Riefler Vrydag die slang gevang het.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
