Crocodiles have prevented SAPS officers from destroying an illegal makeshift bridge over the Limpopo River linking SA and Zimbabwe.
Limpopo police spokesperson Brig Motlafela Mojapelo said the crocodiles wanted to “feast on police officers” and the reptiles “were in abundance, patrolling the area” when the incident happened on Thursday.
“A small part of the bridge was destroyed. The SANDF was notified and they will also come assist,” he said. The Zimbabwe Republic Police got wind of the bridge from reports carried by a local online publication, Beitbridge Eye, and engaged their SA counterparts last week on Monday.
