Villagers accuse Safari Lodge owner of feeding their colleague to crocodiles

Fourteen villagers from Kariba, Zimbabwe, among them five women, have been released from remand prison.
They were arrested for allegedly besieging a safari lodge in the town for three days claiming the property owner had fed their colleague to crocodiles.
Karoi magistrate Mr Robson Finsin last week granted them US$80 bail each after being charged with public violence.
Mr Finsin ordered them to reside at their respective addresses, to report at the Criminal Investigations Department (Karoi), not to venture within 100 metres of Gatshe-Gatshe Safari Lodge and not to interfere with the complainant or State witnesses until their case is finalised.
Apparently on the night of April 22 2013, Ropafadzo Zivavose and Shelton Chidhakwa, were found fishing in a prohibited area near Mr Raymond Townsend's Gatshe-Gatshe Safari Lodge.
Mr Townsend is said to have apprehended and took them to his lodge. The two, however, allegedly escaped.
Three days later, Muzengeza, it is alleged, then led a group of 40 people to the lodge.
The group allegedly demanded Chidhakwa's corpse from Mr Townsend and also threatened to assault him.
It is further alleged the group forced the lodge manager to give them food, beer, drinks, fuel and lodgings.
The rest of the group members are still at large.
