The African rock python is non venomous and uses constriction to kill its prey.
In South Africa we have quite a few venomous snakes, the most dangerous being Adders/vipers (puff adder, Gaboon viper, night adder and berg adder); Mambas (black mamba, green mamba); Cobras (Cape cobra, Mozambique spitting cobra, snouted cobra, forest cobra); Rinkhals, boomslang and twig/vine snake.
I'm not sure about other parts of Africa.
There's lots of info on the internet, if you're keen to know more. I see that Portugal really has only one snake dangerous to humans, called the Lataste's viper.

I was completely unaware that Portugal had a poisonous snake. Usually, here we are very careful with these animals. There is no contact of the population with any kind of venomous animals. We are concentrating only on trying to prevent the extinction of certain species that are important to the Peninsula-Inbérica.
