That's unfortunate...
Jonathan Mthethwa of the Saint of the Last Days church brought his congregation to the area known locally as Crocodile River before attempting his biblical recreation.
According to witnesses, the pastor entered the water and waded out approximately 30 metres before attempting to make his way to the surface. Unfortunately for the pastor, three crocodiles pounced and devoured him.
Only his sandals and underwear were recovered, according to a report in the Daily Post.

(970 posts)All it takes for a reporter to be unable to verify something, is, among other things, to simply be incompetent or biased in investigations.
In any case? Many, many events deep in Africa are indeed hard to verify, even today. To refute or confirm; either one.
