Itezhi-tezhi District Council official treated to a snake reception

Share

The reinstated Itezhi-tezhi District Council Secretary Levy Nachome was yesterday treated to a rude shock when he found a huge grey stray snake in his office causing him to abandon the office temporarily.

The cobra snake was discovered on the back of his office chair when it charged at him when he looked over his shoulder .
The mysterious snake was almost striking the back of his head when he saw it and jumped over his office table and run away to the next office.

“At 13:00 hours I went into the office and sat, after a few minutes when I looked over my shoulder I just saw a huge snake charging at me and immediately I jumped over the my office table and went to tell my secretary to call people so they could come and kill it” Mr Nachome narrated .

“Am very scared, I don’t understand how the snake sneaked into the office , it cant enter the office through the window because the window was closed at that time, its very strange for me.”he said.

The announcement of the snake in the Council Secretary’s office temporarily disturbed the Special Council meeting which was taking place in the council chamber.

Mrs Mutinta Telebwe, his secretary ,said in an interview that the snake is believed to have entered in the morning through the front door.

” I was in the office when I heard the Council Secretary banging the door of his office open and run into my office saying help there is a snake in here .” she said.

” When people came to kill it ,the snake could not move well on the carpet , it went to the fridge on the corner of the office and sat there for some time before one man hit it with a stick on the head” she said.

The discovery of the snake has made some people to make wild superstitious speculation that it was an omen that some people are not happy with his reinstatement as Itezhi-tezhi Council Secretary after being suspended last year in February 2008.

The snake was killed around 13:00 and the council secretary has since gone back for work in his office.

  1. Wapya munzi is a witch thats why his mind is always thinking about witchcraft. out of all the things, why think of witchcraft? Why not think of Godly or natural things?

  2. I have sent a post newspaper reporter to dig dipper into this issue. I must tell RB the truth about this snake and the entire incident. In the meantime let RB lie about the issue because that is his nature.

  3. There is nothing special about the snake being found in the office. I assume it was a “Muswema”. During this part of the year or season this is when alot of snakes come out of hiding due to high temperiture. Moreover ITT is bush place the incidence of snakes going into building is very likely. I urge the council secretary to concentrate on his day to day duties without fear of witchcraft. It may sound strange but these things happen.

  4. It is just a snake and nothing suspicious.Zambian rural districts have offices located near the bushes and makes it easier for the snakes to sneak into the offices . It is quiet clear the author saw something strange about the incidence and like wise most bloggers feel the same. Typical African beliefs have dragged back the continent in all development aspects and leaves much to be desired , till the time people will civilize and learn the proper ways of learning and discovering the truth.You only report something suspicious and not the strange.
    It is better to be uneducated than being uncivilized,

  5. When people came to kill it ,the snake could not move well on the carpet , it went to the fridge ON THE CORNER of the office and SAT there for some time before one man hit it with a stick on the head” she said. Uhmmm, I wonder!! Tell me madam secretary, how does a snake SIT? and went to the fridge ON THE CORNER of the office, uh? Tonga English!

  6. Stupid,
    Life is nothing but Stupid.

    The ***** should Pray it was not a Mamba

    Peace fot the Snake
