THERE was pandemonium at Chiredzi General Hospital Sunday night when a crocodile mysteriously crept into a male ward and spent the night among patients.
Officials believe the two-metre reptile used the flooded poor drainage system to swim all the way to the hospital before seeking refuge inside the medical facility.
Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife (Zimparks) rangers rescued the deadly animal Monday morning after panicky patients rang the alarm bell.
However, the incident was followed by superstitious claims one of the male patients admitted in the ward was using juju.
Despite crocodiles having been reported to have invaded Tshovani suburb after heavy rains that pounded Chiredzi in the past few days, residents suspect one of the male patients might be using juju.
