\u2019n Kaapse kobra het omtrent vir opwinding en spanning gesorg toe hy Donderdagoggend (23 Februarie) in Durbanstraat uit \u2019n kar se enjin geseil het.<\/p>\n
Joachim Kuhn, \u2019n plaaslike inwoner, was dieselfde oggend op \u2019n plaas in die Nuyvallei toe werkers op die plaas opgemerk het hoe \u2019n slang by die enjin van Kuhn se Opel Kadett inseil.<\/p>\n
Kuhn moes egter dringend in Worcester kom, aangesien sy pa onlangs oorlede is en die familie die laaste begrafnisre\u00eblings moes uitsorteer.<\/p>\n
N\u00e1 \u2019n mislukte poging om die slang te verwyder, moes Kuhn noodgedwonge Worcester toe ry om sake af te handel. Hy het Durbanstraat toe gery en toe hy parkeer, gesien die slang wil uit.<\/p>\n
Omstanders het omtrent saamgedrom en was nuuskierig oor die situasie wat in die straat afgespeel het.<\/p>\n
Die slang het egter besluit om dieper in die enjin te gaan skuil weens die skare mense wat op daardie tydstip saamgedrom het.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Plaaslike slangvanger, Andr\u00e9 du Preez, se dienste is met behulp van polisiebeamptes ingespan om die situasie te beredder.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk is gebel en is dadelik na die toneel toe. Ek moes omtrent my pad deur die massas mense wat daar gestaan het, oopstoot en het toe gesien die slang is diep in die enjin in. Ek het my kennis ingespan en die slang gered.\u201d<\/p>\n
Die slang was na bewering \u201cerg ontsteld\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cDit is eintlik baie gevaarlik. Kuhn moes eerder nie met die voertuig gery het nie en die slang laat verwyder het. Hy kon \u2019n ongeluk gemaak het as die slang iewers ingeseil het, of die slang kon ontsnap en ander se lewe in gevaar stel,\u201d s\u00ea Du Preez.<\/p>\n
Hy verduidelik hy het sedert September verlede jaar al 176 slange in die streek gevang.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk vermoed ons sal so teen die einde van die seisoen in Mei op sowat 250 gevalle staan. Slange gaan veral nou voorberei vir die winter en die veld is droog. Daar is nie kos nie. Mense moet waaksaam wees,\u201d<\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea skerpioene is nou meer prominent in die omgewing en mense moet maar versigtig wees en veral tydens beurtkrag en wanneer dit donker is, mooi kyk waar hulle loop en beweeg.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Agtienjarige vrou in die Wes-Kaap is onlangs deur \u2019n slang gepik en is dood. <\/p>\n
\u201c \u2019n Tekort aan teengif is \u2019n nasionale probleem, terwyl dit \u2019n lewe kan red,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk probeer my bes om voorraad op te bou en weet die hospitale doen dit ook. Dit is skaars, maar hier in die dorp is voorraad. Dit is egter baie duur,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n
Ongelukkig bestaan geen afweermiddel teen slange nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cMense glo allerhande stories en winkels in die dorp verkoop \u2019n beweerde afweermiddel. Daar bestaan nie so iets nie. Dit werk nie. Al wat werk, is om jou eiendom skoon te hou. Slange gaan agter kos aan. As jy rotte of muise het, dan is jy \u2019n teiken,\u201d maan du Preez.<\/p>\n
