This time, Sarel was called to Riversmead Poultry Farm in Izotsha to prevent a ‘big green’ from enjoying a tasty egg or perhaps even a baby chick.
The mamba, measuring 2.5 metres, was first seen slithering across the road before scaling a tree.
Martie Schutte of Riversmead Poultry Farm said Sarel answered her call immediately and arrived in 10 minutes.
“He was very helpful, professional and entertaining to watch,” she added.

“It moved from branch to branch before I was able to catch it,” he said.
