Meet Lunga, the 'snake woman of Africa'

Seeing is believing! It may seem like a make-believe story if you are being told there is a someone who is able to twist her body into different shapes and forms.


While it is understandable that some people's bodies have changed and become flexible because of the series of exercises they do, we also have to understand that some people are naturally flexible.

There is an extent to which a full grown man can twist his body irrespective of his flexibility. Anything that passes that level is thought to be scary as people worry about the person breaking a bone or twisting the organs of the body.

Some people simply cannot watch when they see flexible people pull off their stunts; they feel those extremely flexible people are no longer human since their bodies can be likened to a rubber that stretches and go back to its form.

But when it comes the lady that is referred to as the snake woman of Africa, you will be totally amazed. This lady has defied the odds when it comes to flexibility; she has won the hearts of many people within and outside the African continent.

She is gifted and unique in her own way; she is able to throw her body into awkward shapes and positions with little or no efforts. The clothes she wears are snake-like making her look more slithery when she changes position.
