Croc kills golfer, son of staff member in Kruger National Park

SKUKUZA – A golfer was killed by a 3.9m long crocodile on the Skukuza Golf Course Wednesday night.
Kruger National Park (KNP) earlier today confirmed that Van der Sandt is the son of a staff member Schalk (retired) and staff member Lorretha van der Sandt; the couple has been working in the park since 1992.

it is reported that Van der Sandt and a friend jumped into Lake Panic, which apparently runs through the nine-hole golf course, a few times. After about the fourth time, the crocodile, which was allegedly visible earlier the day, put its jaws around Van der Sandt’s chest and dragged him under water.

A search for Van der Sandt was launched during the night. A field ranger eventually spotted the 3.9m crocodile and its victim upstream and shot it. Van der Sandt had bite marks on his chest and was dead on the ranger’s arrival.
According to Coetzer, Van der Sandt and fellow golfers were at the Skukuza Golf Club’s club house when the incident occurred at about 23:00 on Wednesday December 3.
