Courtesyhas been remembered by many South Africans following his death while on holiday in Zambia.found throughout southern and eastern Africa.is one of the most dangerous snakes in the world but a bite could take hours before killing someone.“Usually in a serious bite a person could die between 30 minutes and six hours but in exceptional cases, we can see people die in less than half an hour.
