Not the first year in RuNet has been distributed a story about several Africans who died during the ritual, during which it was necessary to rape the female crocodile. According to Internet publications, other reptiles attacked men. We checked whether it really was.
On the network, the story of the death of three brothers from the teeth of crocodiles has been walking since 2016. It is claimed that this case occurred in the province of Limpopo in the South African Republic. The dead allegedly suffered from impotence and turned to the shaman for help, who informed the men about the family curse imposed on them and proposed a folk remedy. To solve his problem, the Trinity had to find a crocodile and make intercourse with her. To do this, the sorcerer gave the “patients” the Holy Amulet, supposedly pacifying crocodiles. However, after capturing the female reptiles, the brothers attacked her relatives, as a result of which the men died. Usually these publications are accompanied by a photograph with a group of black people who are in the water and hold a crocodile. In this case, often the inguinal region of the man in the foreground is pixelized, and in the center of the image there is a white Play button, hinting that it is a video of the video.
Posts with this story are very popular in social networks. For example, in the public “About damn it! - Where is the pancake? - There is damn! " In VKontakte, a record of an unsuccessful attempt to rape a crocodile Collected 882,000 views and more than 3,600 reposts. Such posts are found in other "VK" communities, among which "Leprosy"(420,000 views, 4,500 likes), Just Art (147 000, 1100), ""Smart - smart magazine!"(153,000, 620) and"Incredible facts"(69,000, 345), as well as on the site"Picabu"(More than 2700 pluses). In addition, the deaths of three Africans were reported "Vesti.ru", TV channel"NTV" OBOZREVATEL, Newsru.com and other media.
To begin with, we will figure out a similar story that has not dispersed by the rune. Moreover, during her story, the same photo of men holding a crocodile was used. In the same 2016, English -speaking Internet resources Reported About the "gang" of the brothers from the lympopo, who raped the reptile, which had previously attacked their cattle. Below the full text is in our translation.
The four brothers and their cousins from the lympopo were arrested after they caught the cattle of the crocodile that had eaten them and, presumably, underwent his group rape for several days.
It is reported that farmers, whose names are not disclosed until the end of the investigation, are so tired of the crocodile who ate their goats daily, that they installed a trap and caught the reptile alive. Then they took the prey to their site, where in one of the huts they took turns committing sexual violence against the poor animal. Presumably, it was a female. The brothers were opened when the department of parks and wildlife began an investigation on anonymous tip.
One of the brothers, who talked with the reporters of the Imzansi publication, said that his family sees nothing wrong with the punishment of a predator who hunted their livestock. “We are not at all attracted by crocodiles or any other animals. We just wanted to take revenge, really cruelly punish her, ”he said, without showing a drop of remorse
Another brother was also defiantly configured and said that, at least, they used protection funds. “I and my two brothers were protected. We do not know what sexually transmitted diseases the crocodiles have, but the rest did not use the defense and, it seems, enjoyed because they finished the process premature, ”he said.
Official representative SanParks, South African National Parks (leading environmental body of South Africa. - Approx. Ed.), Said that the brothers would be charged with abuse of animals, as well as illegal maintenance of wild animals.
Despite the fact that the story seems doubtful, it was picked up by some sites that make fun of African culture - to this I turned it Attention The fact of the Snopes project. In fact, there is not a drop of truth in the plot, because its source is the satirical portal Imzansi, where the story Published October 18, 2016. Below Disclaimer, posted on the site.
IMZANSI is a news and political and satirical online publication, in which real names in semi-real or mainly invented stories can be used. Some of the news articles contained on the Imzansi.co.za website are fiction and sometimes fakes.
Any similarity with the truth is completely random, with the exception of all links to politicians and/or celebrities. In this case, they are based on real people, but still almost completely fictitious.
The IMZANSI website is designed for a mature, sophisticated and selective audience.
Although the publications about the Mr.-Mestiye and the impotence brothers are often accompanied by the same photography, different stories tell in these texts. The source of the plot about three inhabitants of South Africa who died during the rape of the crocodile, Usually indicate ZW News news site ZW News, where the publication was released on December 8, 2016 (it has already been deleted, but Remained Archive copy). However, sometimes you can find the mention of the South African site Mzansi Live (Mzancy is unofficial Name South Africa). In addition, ZW News indicates that the news is written according to the MZANSI Life report (perhaps a typo was made in the name of the source). Judging by Internet Archive, on Mzansi Live material Published At least November 30, 2016, but we could not find earlier mention. Below is the full text of the news.
The desire to become “bed warriors” turned into a tragedy after the family from Limpopo lost three sons during the attack of crocodiles. Members of this family, known for their curse - the inability to prove themselves at the most crucial moment (during intercourse), fell into the deadly jaws of the strongest reptile after Sangoma (healer. - approx. Ed.) Gave them muti (means folk medicine. - approx. Ed.) And he ordered to rape the female crocodile.
The elderly sobbing father, who lost three sons during the ritual, said that the muti dissolved in the water was supposed to weaken reptiles so that the boys could easily catch the crocodile and in turn to rape it, thus making a ritual.
The circumstances of the attack of other reptiles are still not clear. It is assumed that some crocodiles were resistant to muti, so they were not weakened as planned.
A family member claims that everyone trusted Sansgome, because he is known for healing such male problems and, according to the testimony, has repeatedly carried out successful rituals in the region. “This is a loss for the family. The boys made a bold choice, married had to save their marriage, the percentage of divorces in the family was too high, which led to the decision to hold a ritual, ”he said. - Like men, marriages are strengthened in the bedroom during intercourse, but my cousins had problems with this. We lost precious lives and cry, but the heavens rejoice that we received pure souls. By tradition, we cannot doubt the knowledge of Sansgoma, but only agree with the result. ”
The political leadership of Limpopo does not encourage dangerous traditional practices, it urged citizens first of all to think about security and abandon dangerous rituals.
Two bodies of the dead were found. Unfortunately, hungry reptiles have already begun eating the third corpse.
Despite the fact that the two presented stories are different (differently mentioned number of brothers, the presence / absence of dead and different motives for rape), there are quite a lot of common details: the same attached photo, the place of action of the lympopo, the group rape of the female crocodile, all participants are brothers, there is a comment from the family members, and at the end the actions of state bodies are described. At the same time, earlier in 2016 another similar story appeared: this time about the rape of an alligator in the zoo.
Since 2016, in some Russian media, among which "Fifth channel", channel "360 °" And "Express newspaper", Public"News from the world of men"On VKontakte (330 likes, 5000 views) and on the site Fishki.net (16,000 views) There were reports of the deceased 24-year-old Jimmy Olsen, an employee of the zoo in Florida. The man allegedly tried to rape young reptile, but, as the police said, it shows a larger individual on the records from video surveillance cameras and dragged under water. In reality, nothing of the kind happened, since this fiction is good famous Our readers of the satirical website of World News Daily Report, where "News" appeared On March 11, 2016. Jimmy Olsen - The character of the DC comics universe, the reporter and the superman's friend, and the photo is actually depicted Gavin Hart, an employee of the crocodile park in Spain.
We also note that although the news about the death of three brothers was first deleted on the ZW News website, in less than two weeks it appeared There again with the next introduction: “Below is a satirical story about the“ brothers from Limpopo ”, which first appeared in the South African Internet publication Mzansi. Usually we do not publish stories of this kind, but we decided to place it after it became viral and blew up social networks. ” However, we note that we were not able to find a disclaim that Mzansi Live publishes a satire.
As for the photograph, which was attached to the stories about the crocodile, we could not find its source. On Snopes suggestthat in the picture, people hold a dead reptile. In 2016, the user of the site Skeptics Stack Exchange assertedthat the earliest photo was on the Twitter account Safrognews, there the picture without the Play icon and without pixelization allegedly appeared on October 12, 2016, but it is not possible to check this due to the removal of the account. If you believe the girl, then the photo was signed as follows: “Brave men from the lympopo caught a crocodile, behind which they chased along the Levuuba River.”
Based on all of the above, we can argue that with a high probability the story of the death of people during the rape of a crocodile in a lympopo is an invention. Most likely, it is based on a couple of satirical news that appeared a few months earlier.
Most likely not true
- Is it true that once the Swede died as a result of rape of a hornet's nest?
- Is the story true about the American who asked for transfer to a women's prison and raped a cellmate there?
- Is it true that crocodiles cry, eating their victims?
- Is it true that birds brushing their teeth crocodiles?
- The invented world of the Gekov public (VMGP)
