Simbithi Scene Spring Ed’s Note: Be a Miss Honey

S-s-s-ay Hello!
There was great excitement (and a bit of fear!) last week when a South African rock python was spotted sunning itself on a golf cart path near Laburnum Way. This glorious beauty surely got residents and wildlife enthusiasts buzzing! While the snake may be large – it’s the fourth largest in the world – please […]
