A 52-year-old man from Plumtree, Victor Moyo, has been arrested for allegedly hunting and skinning a python.
The incident occurred on November 7 at the Zondo farm dam in Plumtree, where Moyo reportedly spotted the python in the water and, with the help of friends, managed to drive it out.
Court Proceedings
Moyo appeared before Magistrate Joshua Nembaware at the Plumtree magistrates’ court on Thursday. The state, represented by Selestine Madziwa, presented the case against him, leading to his arrest after the matter was reported to the police.
The case has been remanded to November 20, and Moyo is currently out of custody as he awaits further proceedings.
This incident raises concerns about wildlife conservation and the legal implications of hunting protected species.
