Estate d'Afrique

Update - Fiber to the Home

At the recent Special General Meeting held on 22 August 2015, the installation of Fibre to the Home on the Estate was approved by special resolution.

MTN was chosen as preferred supplier by majority vote and the Board is currently negotiating terms and conditions with the service provider.

We hope to have the solution (whether it be microwave or fibre technology) installed by early 2016.

Snakes

With the onset of warmer weather, all kinds of reptiles become active on the Estate.

The Mozambique Spitting Cobra is commonly found on the Estate. The most dangerous snake second to the Mamba, this is a nervous and highly strung
snake and can rear up two thirds of its body and can spit its cytotoxic venom with great accuracy, usually aimed at the eyes, causing intense smarting 

If not washed out with milk or water it will cause permanent blindness.

The colour of the snake varies between olive-grey, tawny brown or grey with the scales in between a black colour. The belly is usually a lighter yellow colour. Adults average a length of 1 to 1.5 meters. Symptoms of a cytotoxic bite include intense local pain at the bite site and gradual swelling becoming more pronounced, nausea and vomiting. A distinct metallic taste also occurs in the mouth shortly after being bitten.

Loss of consciousness may occur. Anyone bitten by a snake should seek immediate medical attention.
