Please Identify Snake

A guy came to me earlier this evening with a snake in a bottle. This has started happening very often now so was surprised to see it could spread a hood

I would actually say that's a juvenile Cape Cobra - Naja nivea. I see their distribution stretches into the Free State. As far as I know, Snouted Cobra's don't normally occur so far south.
