Limpopo man on horror hyena attack: ‘ I realised something was eating me right there and then’
Trust Ndlovu, a game-farm security guard, has undergone extensive reconstructive surgery since he was brutally attacked by a hyena.
The left side of his face, his head and his shoulder are a mass of scars and a thick ridge of flesh covers the area where his eye should be. The wounds tell of a night of horror and trauma – a night a predator stepped out of the shadows and attacked him as he lay sleeping on a sweltering bushveld night.
It’s a miracle he’s alive, Trust Ndlovu says. The 38-year-old dad of two was working as a security guard on a game farm near Musina in Limpopo where wild animals were treated with utmost respect. This was their territory and humans and animals kept their distance from one another.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
