Limpopo police officers aligned to the search and rescue unit have recovered the body of a farmworker who drowned after his canoe was capsized by a crocodile at the Thiergaten farm dam.

Officers detailed how they had the tough task of retrieving the farmworker’s body after they came face-to-face with an aggressive hippopotamus. Hippos and crocodiles are rife in the dam.

“The victim, 26-year-old Guidance Mangaye, originally from Giyani, and his 34-year-old colleague were reportedly working at the dam on Tuesday to remove illegal fishing nets left behind by poachers who fled the area after being chased by the farmer," said Ledwaba.
