Authorities in South Africa’s Mpumalanga province have recovered human remains from a crocodile in the Komati River, as investigators work to determine whether they belong to a businessman who vanished more than a week ago.
The remains were located during a coordinated search mission near Komatipoort involving multiple agencies, including police search and rescue teams, conservation officials, emergency services, and local security partners. The operation followed days of efforts to trace the missing man after his vehicle was discovered abandoned in suspicious circumstances.

Police spokesperson Col Mavela Masondo confirmed that the investigation began after a Ford Ranger belonging to the businessman was found stuck at a low-level bridge crossing the Komati River.
