They say it is a jungle out there but some people are actually keeping snakes in their homes and are running home zoos.
Moja Love reality show Sofa Silahlane has BEEN bringing the sauce when it comes to featuring the tales of unusual love around Mzansi and the show this week featured sangoma Sipho 'Devil" Khumalo who trusts his pet snakes more than humans.
His mother calls him Devil, his neighbours say he is a menace to the society and want him out of Soweto. This week on #SofaSlahlane we chill with the man who loves animals more than human beings on Thursday at 21:30 @MojaLoveTv @mlengane @tumisole @Karabo_Mokgoko @RebaMokgoko pic.twitter.com/JO0SaWyE3D

Dude has at least 13 snakes, including six pythons.
Most of the people in his community are either angry with him or scared of his snakes, but malume doesn't mind because he loves animals and says they won't betray him.
Meanwhile, the social media streets were feeling all kinds of ways about the zoo and suggested that maybe malume's neighbours should sleep with one eye open.
