Croc on N4 highway causes confusion

I could not believe my eyes when I saw a crocodile in the road with its front legs ties up

Imagine driving on the highway, driving over something, stopping and then see a crocodile with its front legs tied up in the middle of the road.

This might just sound like a made-up-tale to entertain your friends with around the braai.

However, this really happened.

Mr Steven Barham was on his way home from Pretoria on January 7 and close to the Ogies turn-off he felt a bump as he went over something in the road.

“At first I thought it might be a dog or even a goat. Curiosity got the better of me and I turned around. I could not believe my eyes when I saw a crocodile in the road with its front legs ties up. I could see the poor animal was dead.”

As so many stories of hijackings are told every day, Barham at first was very weary to just get out and waited a good 15 minutes before he eventually got out of his bakkie.

“I knew that this animal could cause an accident if a smaller car drives over it, so I loaded it into my bakkie, took it to my place and buried it on the grounds.”
