  • Lynsey Dyer talks with Chris Korbulic and Ben Stookesberry about their film Kadoma. "Kadoma" was a nickname for Hendri Coetzee, a legendary South African kayaker who had explored some of Africa's wildest rivers. In December of 2010, American pro kayakers Chris and Ben followed Coetzee into the Democratic Republic of Congo for a first descent of the dangerous Lukuga River. Seven weeks into the expedition, tragedy struck.

    I feel so bad for this man. Imagine the pain to have a 1000 pound monster latch on to your shoulder with one of the strongest bite forces on this planet. Shattering the shoulder bone immediately and piercing the flesh. Then in a split second before you can catch a breath it uses its body weight to flip your kayak and you are upside down under the water. And in your last moments of life you feel this beast rip you from the tight fitting seat of your kayak and take you to the bottom of the river you struggle but you can't escape. You slowly drown in the crushing jaws of a monster. Your last thoughts being the regret of having constantly searched for your next thrill. Because if you hadn't you wouldn't be here dying in the jaws of a 15 foot Nile crocodile. You also wonder why it was you who was chosen by this predator. It is heart breaking truly. Rest in peace now.

    Its a terrible way to go and shocking to the family and people who witnessed it. But it does seem like hendri had a death wish, its a miracle he didnt die earlier in his life in africa. Its gives me chills when supposedly when croc got a hold of him,, he didnt scream in panic but said “oh my god in a weird way form intonating reality.

    I saw the documentary. It happened shortly after they got into the water. Their friend was lagging behind them. The camera was on his friend and he was looking back and said "Oh a croc just grabbed Hendri!" They started paddling quickly to get to the bank. The camera then showed his kayak upside down. You can see the final yank when the croc snatched him from out of the kayak.
    Quite eye opening because you literally never see them after that.

    I've got to say I'm a very lucky man I was swimming in a river once and no one has seen a crocodile in this river for decades but I guess my luck is horrible WAM a 2 and a half meter saltie grabs me leg and tries to pull my under I don't know if it was the grace of God or just sheer luck but I was able to pull out my little 6 inch flip type of pocket knife and I just stab and stab and just when I felt like my life was slipping away I must of hit its eye or somewhere soft but this thing let's me go I immediately surface and just swam to the shore without looking back but constantly thinking its going to have another go at me but nope nothing I made it to shore and immediately starting screaming for help I guess the people thought I was joking until they came up on me and saw the puncture wounds in me leg and torn flesh nobody could believe a croc had attacked me but it did and I had the proof ever since then I've never gone back to any water not even a pool it traumatized me I just thought I put it out there so I understand what it's like if it was a 4 or 5 meter croc I probably wouldn't of been here to tell the take

Hippos do not attack in that way. Sad to say make no mistake this man was taken by a crocodile and he was eaten entirely.
