An elderly Gutu man had his testicles and part of his manhood torn into shreds and mauled by a crocodile in the Chivake River.
Jonah Maturure, 70, who is from Marutaya village, Chief Mataruse in Gutu was Friday still recovering in a Bulawayo hospital after sustaining a fractured hand and a badly mauled back.
Jonah Maturure who engaged in a fierce battle for life with the crocodile had a box of tomatoes that he was carrying to thank after he dropped it into the water and in the process turned the attention of the large reptile away from him.
In an interview with the Sunday News in his hospital bed at the United Bulawayo Hospitals (UBH) last Wednesday, Mr Maturure, who could not hide his pain said the attack was so vicious that it could have ended his life had it not been for the box of tomatoes that he decided to drop in the water.
He said he nearly met his death last month when he decided to take his tomatoes for sale across Chivake River whose water level was swelling owing to the rains that had pounded the area the previous night.
