Parks and Wildlife Management Authority spokesperson, Mrs Caroline...
“We are going to send a team to go to Gwanda and conduct investigations in that village so that we can bring the perpetrators to book. The public should know that if they come across such species they are supposed to report the case to the nearest police station or park. They should not handle the case on their own because they put themselves in danger,” she said.
“Pythons are specially protected species because in our culture they are associated with the rains. They scientifically symbolise plenty food like frogs, so it is a serious crime to kill a python. One can be locked in jail for nine years for killing a python with no option of paying a fine."
