A KwaZulu-Natal couple awoke to find a venomous black mamba slithering around their bedroom on Mercury Drive, Riet River, on Monday.
According to Reaction Unit South Africa (Rusa), the terrifying moment began when the wife noticed unusual movement in the dim light of their bedroom. Startled, she discovered the dangerously venomous snake lurking perilously close to their bed.
In a state of panic, she immediately alerted her husband, prompting him to contact the Rusa for urgent assistance.
Rusa’s team responded swiftly to the distress call. Upon their arrival, officer Bryson Bisnath assessed the situation and expertly captured the approximately 1.2-metre-long snake, which is known for its lethal bite and high-speed agility.
