The woman, who identified herself as Mrs Ndlovu or NaSithulile, said she found one dead python and a black mamba both tied with black cloths, a clay pot with a coca cola bottle full of water, a winnowing basket full of sorghum and tree roots, and a black oxtail.
“I woke up early in the morning as usual to sweep my yard and I was shocked to find these things at my gate,” she said.
“I am still shocked about what happened and I do not understand the reason behind it.
“I phoned the neighbours and police to witness it for themselves. I do not suspect anyone because I do not fight with other people,” she said.

Some neighbours said Ndlovu was a traditional healer, but she denied it saying she quit years ago and was now a Christian who attends the Methodist Church.
When a Southern Eye news crew visited her house members of the community were gathered around the house looking at the suspected “witchcraft” tools.
Police were questioning Ndlovu. People who spoke to Southern Eye said it was hard for them to come to terms with what had transpired and were still in shock.
“This is an act of witchcraft and I do not understand why people should do such a thing,” said a neighbour.
Police declined to comment.
