The area about 5km upstream towards Robertson and 5km downstream towards Swellendam remains the key area for surveillance and capture.

Fifty crocodiles have been recaptured after escaping from a Bonnievale farm last week, but an unknown number are still on the loose.

CapeNature spokesperson Petro van Rhyn said crocodiles were still being spotted in the Breede River. She added that the recapture operation would likely continue until there were no more sightings of crocodiles in the area. The South African Police Service has availed four boats and eight police divers to assist in the nocturnal search for the escaped animals.
