Johannesburg – Two men accused of trying to sell live crocodiles appeared in the Mankweng Regional Court on Friday, Limpopo police said.

The matter would resume on 1 November, said police spokesperson Matimba Maluleke.

In August, the two were granted bail of R1 000 each.

They were arrested after police received a tip-off that two men were selling the reptiles from a house in Ga-Mothapo and pretended to be interested buyers.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) took the crocodiles to a sanctuary.
