About 15,000 crocodiles have reportedly escaped from a farm in South Africa's far north amid heavy rains and flooding.

Quote:
The owner was forced to open the crocodile farm's gates on Sunday to prevent a storm surge, the local Beeld newspaper says.

Many of the crocodiles have been recaptured, but more than half are still on the loose, it says.

The floods have killed at least 10 people in Limpopo province.

"When we reached them, the crocodiles were swimming around them. Praise the Lord, they were all aliveā€

Zane Langman
Crocodile farmer
The crocodiles escaped from the Rakwena Crocodile Farm, a tourist site about 15km (nine miles) from the small town of Pontdrif, which borders Botswana.
