Truth Be Told

“THE STORY BEHIND THE PYTHON RESCUE IN THE OCEAN! Many of you would have seen the video of the brave fisherman who rescued a python out of the ocean on the weekend, during a massive fishing competition. On Saturday, while competing in a fishing competition, Dwayne Boshoff and his dad came across something large floating in the water. To their disbelief, and everyone who saw the video, it was a Southern African Python! This was about 2.5km out at sea, in line with the Durban beachfront (by the harbour). The father and son team didn't hesitate, and hurried into action. Mr. Boshoff got the boat close enough, while Dwayne, who is not a seasoned snake-catcher, brilliantly scooped the snake out of the water, securing the sharp end and supporting the body. A very impressive capture in a difficult situation! They were not going to let the python die out there. They hadn't exactly planned to catch a python, so without a snake bucket, they put it in one of the hatched of the boat, which I believe is normally used for captured fish. Dwayne's brother, a friend of mine, Dean ( Reptile Party Time - where parties come alive ), called me, asking what should his brother do in this bizarre situation he now found himself in. I told him we'll meet him when he comes back to shore. The afternoon came, and the Boshoff boat came riding towards shore. However, due to its design, it wasn't made for being brought ashore at this particular point. So, it was parked a bit away from the beach, meaning Carla and I had to go for a walk through the waves to get the snake 😳😂This was a first for us. I was wearing my GoPro HERO from GoPro South Africa, putting it to the test in the ocean for the first time. I'll put out a video of all of this soon. We thought we were going about waste deep. We went a lot deeper than that! Finally, we were pulled onto the boat by Mr.Boshoff, and drove out to calmer waters (not far away). Dwayne opened the hatch for us, and Carla reached in and grabbed the head, while I helped control the tail-end, making sure it wasn't aimed at anyone 😂 The python is a minimum of 2.5m, probably more actually, and is a male. In good condition too. Dwayne swam with our python box, so we put it in there. Now it was time to swim back. Yes, this was not a normal rescue! We jumped in the water, which initially we couldn't touch the bottom with our feet, so we were swimming, while pulling along the floating box containing the python. What an entertaining sight it must have been! Eventually, we could feel the ground, and walked the rest of the way, with a few waves saying goodbye to us from the ocean. A crowd was waiting for us on the beach. A small one considering the size of the competition. The beach was full of 4x4's and boats, it was incredible. We let people see the snake, put it in its box, and off we went. Worried about it being in salt water for a long time (we presume), we washed it down with freshwater, before putting it in a large enclosure with a huge bowl of freshwater. I don't believe it drank much, if any salt water. I think it kept it's head afloat. It will be monitored carefully and released soon. How did it get out to sea? There's no definitive answer, just theories: 1) It was well hidden in one of the dozens upon dozens of boats there. Fishermen came from all over the country for this competition. It may have caught a lift down, and snuck out for a swim when no one was looking. Although I think it would be difficult for the python not to be seen. 2) It swam down/across a river, on the north coast, ended up in the sea, and the current took it south. Unfortunately we'll never know. Thank you so much to Dwayne and Mr.Boshoff for what they did for this snake. It was a true act of bravery and kindness. Thanks also to Dean for contacting us and being involved on the day. It was an experience to remember for us! ~Nick Evans 072 809 5806 nickevanskzn@gmail.com

Liberal logic is mind-boggling. 🤯

A mother is going punished her son by making him slam his PS5 the same way he had slammed her pet cat. Is this justified?🤔

@kirawontmiss I like this mother👏👏 Only way to teach kids is to let them feel. He is feeling every thump of his beloved Playstation. Headstompers need to feel too.... with lashes!

Islamists just slaughtered Pastor Rev. Ayuba Choji, his wife Chundung, and their two young children — Cyril and Endurance — in Plateau State, Nigeria. An entire Christian family wiped out in their home. But sure… keep listening to the Woke Right and @Pontifex telling you “Islam is peaceful,” “it’s just a tiny minority,” and there’s nothing to worry about for Christians or the West. This is the same pattern destroying Christian communities across Nigeria — and spreading everywhere. Christianity is under attack.

This is when I knew they was about to kill this nigga

He didn’t just deliver groceries… he delivered FULL service 😭👏 Man pulled up, saw a stranded customer, and said "today I’m mechanic as well" 😅🔧 jump-starting the car like it’s part of the order.. This is what going the extra mile really looks like, not just "your order is on the way" but "your day is sorted" 💯 Big salute to this legend 🫡 give that man a raise, a bonus, and permanent residence @ @CheckersSA maybe add “roadside assistance” to the app while you’re at it
