Windas Muleya escaped after he received help from his friends. The incident took place in Mulibizi River, also known as Mutwe weNzovu, which means the head of the elephant.
He was chased by a wounded elephant forcing him to attempt
to swim across the river.
Richard Choruma, a witness, said: “As the elephant got
closer, Muleya plunged into the river.
“He swam into the deep waters of the Mlibizi River, but
unfortunately came across the crocodile, which attacked him.
“His friends heard him screaming, from about 100 metres
away,” said Choruma.
“They rushed to the river and found him fighting with the
crocodile. It was about 10 metres from the bank of the river.
“Muleya’s friends swam to rescue him. It was very fortunate
that they were able to save his life.
“He was seriously injured on the left part of the body, as
well as his arm and leg.”
He was taken to Binga Hospital before being transferred to
Mpilo Central Hospital in Bulawayo, where he is currently receiving treatment.
“He lost his arm and leg, as they were amputated.”H Metro
