SANDF roped in after crocodiles thwart SAPS bid to demolish Zim 'smugglers' bridge'

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.

The wooden bridge, 3km west of the main border post, was erected by smugglers about a month ago to move goods between SA and Zimbabwe. The Beitbridge border has been closed for human traffic for months due to Covid-19 containment measures by both countries. This has led to an increase in smuggling involving cross-border traders.
