Footballer falls victim to crocodiles

The Zimbabwe second division football team Midland Portland Cement will now have to search for a substitute for one of its key players. But the poor guy was not injured or sold to another club - he went missing during a swim in river full of crocodiles.

The coaches told 16 of the team’s players to enter the waters of Zambezi river. They said it was a ritual to cleanse the footballers of bad spirits before a match on Sunday.

But only 15 of them came back ashore. The missing player could have drowned or being eaten by crocodiles.
