A Reservior Hills vegetable farmer had a close encounter with a two metre crocodile when he was attending to his herbs last week in his farm situated along the banks of Umgeni river near Siripat Road.

Nivash Dhookran told the Weekly Gazette that the crocodile was well camoufalged in his garden and that he had not seen it untill opened its mouth to grab hold of him.
