WATCH: Massive python pulled from safari vehicle near Pretoria
A routine vehicle check turned into an unexpected wildlife encounter at Mongena Game Lodge near Pretoria, when field guides discovered a massive Southern African python curled up in the undercarriage of a safari vehicle. The protected snake appeared to be stuck between parts of the game viewer, prompting a carefully coordinated rescue mission that lasted over an hour. The entire operation — from dismantling parts of the vehicle to gently washing and safely releasing the snake — was captured on video, offering a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into bushveld life when the wild comes to camp. Watch the video here: According to a statement by the lodge on Facebook the python was discovered on Monday. 'This stunning Southern African Python had made itself home in the undercarriage of one of the game viewers and seemed stuck between the various parts of the vehicle. It furthermore said Southern African Pythons are a protected species in South Africa and play an important role within a healthy and functioning ecosystem. 'Fearing it might injure itself, a rescue plan was quickly put in motion, and a team assembled to safely remove the snake without causing it any harm. 'After more than an hour, including removing parts of the vehicle, the python was successfully extracted. It was gently washed to remove any oils or residue it may have picked up and thoroughly examined for injuries. Once cleared, it was released safely back into the bush.'

Biggest Lamb Champs comes to Loftus
The search for the best lamb in South Africa brought 7 000 people to Loftus Stadium this week as the annual Lamb Champs competition took place. Music, food, and enjoyment with friends and family were the order of the day, all centred around mouth-watering lamb meat. Artists like Ricus Nel, Jan Jan Jan, and Ichnus had feet tapping, while the smell of lamb on the spit kept everyone anticipating the feast that was coming. This is the fourth time that this annual event has taken place, and CEO of The Southern African Agri Initiative (SAAI), Francois Rossouw, says that this past weekend was the largest they've ever held. Some were brave enough to enter the ice competition, and 40 entrants even took to the stage to eat a sheep's head. 'It's about what the consumer thinks about the lamb, how they experience and what the taste is like. So, we invite farmers from all nine provinces to come showcase their lamb. 'We invite the public as well because we want to shorten the value chain, and we want to introduce the consumer to the farmer. 'We don't have this connection any more between the consumer, who has someone who has stayed on a farm or knows someone who owns a farm. 'We want them to meet the farmers who produce the meat we enjoy on the braai on a Saturday,' Rossouw said. JP Nel of the Enkelbos Farm, in the Stella district, North West, emerged as the winner of Lamb Champs Pretoria 2025 with his Blackhead Dorper. His lamb impressed the judges and earned him first place. Do you have more information about the story? Please send us an email to [email protected] or phone us on 083 625 4114.
