ZIMBABWE – BULAWAYO – There was drama at the Civil Court offices of the Bulawayo magistrates’ courts on Monday afternoon when a clerk bumped into a live snake in a file she wanted to pull out.
The clerks, all women, said a Plaintiff in the Small Claims Court walked into their offices just after the lunch break and asked for her file.
A clerk went to the shelves to pull out the file and that is when she came face to face with a brown long and thin snake, which was inside the file she wanted to pull out.
The snake raised its head and the clerk threw away the file and shouted for help from her workmates who all bolted out of the office.
They said the woman who is a Plaintiff in the case denied any connection with the snake while the Defendant in the case had not shown up.
As a result the case could not go in, as no one would dare move closer to the filing cabinets in fear of the reptile.
The provincial magistrate in charge of Bulawayo and Matabeleland North provinces, John Masimba confirmed the incident and said they were contemplating calling in officers from the Parks and Wildlife Management Authority to come and deal with the reptile.
By late afternoon, after Masimba had returned from an inspection in loco in an inquest case, the clerks said some male employees at the courts had tried to look for the snake but failed to locate it.
They said the male employees removed a handful of files but could not find the reptile

culd these people get in touch im sure we can do something to bring justice in our land if u can send a snake into yuor file then we can do more to fight against oppresion. Black people we have powerful weapons than any other race but because we were told its evil we r shy to come out and use it. If someone can fly at night and land at a hse in a populated high density at the right address i think we need to work together and resort to our culture and use it for the benefit of our society. lets take it to dem bastards and bring peace and justice

Kwaaniko nyoka inyokaka inongofamba pese pese. Please let’s stop this foolish business of superstition. They should have called Parks and Wildlife to retrieve this reptile, then continue with the case

President Obama promised $100 million and the full resources of the U.S. government for what he said would be one of the largest relief efforts in recent history. U.S. officials said 30 countries had either sent aid or promised to do so. Rescue teams from eight countries were on the ground.
