Gold Panners Arrested For Killing Python And Trying To Sell It

Brian Takapamasunda (34), Joseph Gumbo (35) and Shuben Maphosa (29) were arrested after they killed a python and tried to sell it. The matter came to light after they hired a taxi driver to transport the snake to Gwanda Town.

The trio was not asked to plead when they appeared before Gwanda magistrate, Miss Nomagugu Ncube facing a charge of hunting or killing or being found in possession of a specially protected animal. They were remanded in custody to February 13. The court heard that the trio killed the snake in Sizeze area in Gwanda on 1 February.

They hired a taxi and were charged $30 by the driver whom they promised to pay upon arriving in Gwanda. The trio further tried to sell the python but failed after their buyer only offered them $40. The taxi driver then demanded his money from the trio but they failed to give him. The taxi driver made a report to the police resulting in their arrest.
