Meet herbalist who heals people and lives with 17 giant PYTHONS (photos)

Ngobese explained that he has been living with snakes around his neck and body since he was six 

years old. He said: “The snakes are my ancestors. I am a traditional healer who helps people using 

natural means. I use my snakes instead of throwing the bones.”

The 39-year- old man expressed that many of the patients who visit him come back later


with good news about his healing power. Ngobese explained that the snakes serve as a link to his 

ancestors, adding that he won’t be able to do his spiritual work without them. He said: “My ancestors 

talk to me through these blessed snakes. The power of healing comes from them. They show me how 

to treat patients and what muthi to give them.” The herbalist who followed in his father’s footsteps 

expressed that he began living with snakes in 2005 after he became an herbalist.

He explained that he became close to the snakes during his initiation process. He said: “I am a water 

herbalist as I went through a process under water. I don’t have a human gobela. My gobela was a 

river snake. That’s where my relationship with the snakes comes from.” “My father died in 2000 and 

I took over from him in 2005. He blessed me with the power to heal people through the snakes and 

juju.”

Ngobese revealed that he saw a vision leading him to heal people around the country.
