How Dingo's death has affected others
Briefly News had the pleasure of speaking with Denzel Ncube, a local snake catcher, about how the death of the wildlide-life-loving Dingo affected them.
"Dingo's death affected the snake community very badly, and no one ever thought we would lose him so soon; however, if something is meant to happen, it'll happen in that way no matter our likeness."
Speaking on whether his death has caused any fears, he said:
"After his passing, I had to rescue a Black Mamba on top of a tree. Truly speaking, it kept on knocking on my head that I just lost a fellow friend, who has the same love and shared a lot in common. A little fear knocked, but our aim is to conserve nature and protect both reptiles and humans, not forgetting ourselves as catchers."
Denzel spoke on how he keeps himself safe, saying:
"I make sure that I'm in possession of a PPE when going for all the rescues, whether venomous or non-venomous, that is because of people giving wrong ID's after a call out. It is always important to be in a position of two important things: a hook and a tong."
