A scrap metal vendor has taken everyone by storm after he was seen carrying what looks like a green mamba around his neck.
The man was spotted at Dees Scrap Metal in Marburg today, sporting the two metre long snake.
In the video he is seen pushing a bakkie from the premises. The snake is not initially noticeable but as the vendor gets closer to the brave cameraman, Krushen Pillay, the living ‘necklace’ becomes visible.

It caught the attention of bystanders,who can be heard asking, “if the snake is real, how come it’s not biting him”?
“He said he had had the snake since it was little and that this was the first time he had brought it to work,” said Mr Pillay.
“At first I thought it was a plastic snake, until it moved. He attracted quite a crowd who were astonished at his bravery. ”
The Herald is attempting to contact the vendor to find out the story behind the snake, and to determine if it is in fact a green mamba.
