"INYOKA FRIED IN THE RAIN!"
“I´m singin´ in the rain
Just singin´ in the rain….
Let the stormy clouds chase.
Everyone from the place,
Come on with the rain
I have a smile on my face…” Oh Damn!! Wrong song!! Sorry about that…
Definitional clause
“Izinyoka,”is an isiZulu word which mean ‘snakes
!” Here in South Africa we use it to refer to thieves who steal electricity cables and/or electricity by illegal connections.
“ An UNLUCKY inyoka() was fried to death while stealing from other iz-inyoka(
).
They were shocked to find him dead next to their cables with a saw and a knife nearby. He was killed while cutting a live cable at the worse time, while it was raining early on Monday morning.”
And- ladies and gentleman, the response from the thief being stolen from(the victim):
“An angry Nomxolisi Mvumthuza(46) of Port Elizabeth Westville squatter camp said he was trying to steal from her family. BUT she ADDED: “ WE make OUR ILLEGAL connections in daylight and are not afraid of the cops because our government has let us down.”
“While the dead man’s body was being taken away, another inyoka was spotted hard at work.”

stampeded for the door. Others jumped over the charge office desk with their R5 rifles and pistols. The villagers who had captured the reptile stormed into the cop shop and attacked the snake AGAIN. This time they made sure it was dead. They dragged it outside by its tail and relieved cops
