A HOMEOWNER was greeted by a large Black Mamba in his bedroom when he returned home from his nightshift work.

The owner called the Kloof and Highway SPCA, and Inspector Israel Silevu responded.

According to the SPCA, the homeowner in Demat was changing his clothes when something caught his eye – a large Black Mamba in his bedroom.

Silevu safely captured the 2.2m long snake, and it was released in the afternoon.

“We would like to thank the home owners for contacting the Kloof and Highway SPCA – even though he was scared, he still chose to call and get help instead of harming the frightened snake,” said the SPCA.
