Came across this article and saw that the Mfezi seems to have been mistaken for a mamba.....

Yeah, if you live in a country with about five snake species I can't blame you, though it happens here just as much. I'd say that it's a hoax, and a mamba would not last twelve hours outside in London this time of the year.

I reckon the picture in the article is just a generic picture they grabbed off the interwebs, not the actual snake in question.

[Ruan Stander]

Yup, journalists will use stock photos but since they cannot ID the snake and that's what they got when they searched for 'black mamba', it must be a mamba.
