A woman identified as Gogo Nenohwe has been caught breastfeeding a giant snake in her friend’s house in the Nenohwe Village in Zimbabwe.

According to the Manica Post, the woman was seen by a 12-year-old girl as she breastfed the snake while mentioning names of some villagers whom she wanted the snake to deal with.

The duo, Gogo Savie Nenohwe(culprit) and Gogo Ethel Sithole(friend), were arraigned before a Chief Mutambara court on charges of witchcraft on Saturday, March 13.

Giving evidence before the court, the key witness said;

“I saw Gogo Nenohwe breastfeeding a very big snake which had a red cloth and beads tied around it. After breastfeeding it, she took out a plate of food and fed the snake. I did not see what food she was feeding it, but I heard her muttering names of fellow villagers and telling the snake to deal with them.”

According to report, the young girl told other villagers what she saw after she told Gogo Sithole about the incident but she didn’t do anything.

The two women were summoned to the traditional leader’s court, after the village head, Molline Nenohwe  took the matter to Chief Mutambara.

When Gogo Sithole was asked if she took any action after the young girl reported the matter to her, she said;

“I did not have money to bring the matter to your court. I also did not confront Nenohwe because I knew that once I confronted her, I would need to bring the matter before the chief’s court, yet I couldn’t do that at that moment.”

Speaking also, Maria, Gogo Sithole’s niece revealed  that she used to share a room with the snake.

“I used to sleep in the room where Gogo Nenohwe was seen breastfeeding the snake. The snake stays in that room. I stopped using the room because of that and begged my aunt to move me to another room. Sometimes the snake comes out to bask in the sun” Maria said.

Some villagers in Nenohwe, also said they have come across a giant snake that has a red cloth tied around it.

However, Gogo Nenohwe refused to speak to newsmen after court hearing.

Report says, efforts are being made to capture the snake and bring it to the traditional ruler’s court.
