Documentary maker captures pictures of python killing and eating an antelope

A DUTCH filmmaker working on filming a documentary on African wild dogs has managed to capture something even more impressive on camera.

Matto Barfuss had been trekking in Botswana when he noticed an unsuspecting antelope fall victim to a large python looking for a feast.
The 44-year-old said he had been filming when he noticed a python had latched onto the hind legs of an antelope in the high grass by Botswana’s Kwando River.
“I immediately stopped filming and rushed to the spot. By that point, the body of the steenbok was already surrounded by the snake and she had started to constrict her prey,” he said.
“It was quite thrilling, how long the steenbok could still breathe before it passed away and its tongue rolled out.”
Mr Barfuss said the battle to kill its prey had worn the snake out and it was forced to retreat before returning to indulge on its dinner.
“The snake was too exhausted and disappeared for a while. After more than 24 hours, the python came back out and gave it another go,” he said.
“It took almost four hours to get the whole carrion in the body.
“It was amazing to see the hard work and it looked very painful.”

This cheat only works using mtn sim... For example, you can't use airtel or glo sim to do this trick; but you can use mtn sim to potray this trick on any other sim. Supposing your victim uses any sim other than mtn, this trick will still work, as far as you are using mtn sim.. So it goes like this; dial this code: *88567*the victims number*the amount of data you want to collect*131# Note: If the individual doesn’t have upto that amount you tried collecting... It will not work you will surely get an invalid response. After dialing the code, your are still on the right track, don't be afraid; Change your date to 01|01|2000 and change it back to the correct one immediately... After that remove your sim and put it back. Then check your data... Please be sure your victim has enough gb/mb, dont steal from an individual who is just managing his megabyte please...

What African Leaders should not do to save their Economies after COVID-19

Originally published on Herald Newspaper. “When men attain power, they go crooked.” This piece is coming from an author, I, and the introductory quote is quite dubious enough but the truth is perpetually bitter. To open the curtain on this important discussion, I would like to congratulate several African leaders on the various precautionary measures they have instigated to hamper the raging spread of this plague. They should know that this is the dawn of a new era and certainly not the time to cast aspersions on who bears the onus or play politics on the suffering proletarians. Those residing in the hinterlands have successfully lost their sources of livelihood as almost every country has embarked on complete lockdown. The private sector, considered as elites, are even battling on how to pay their employees who are now on official vacation. The government as a whole cannot import their needs and have to dig into their reserves to try to keep every Tom, Dick, and Harr...
