SOME people have only seen crocodiles in pictures.
While others are afraid of crocodiles as they have seen them attacking people.
They didn't know that crocodile meat has a lot of benefits, including curing many sicknesses.
This is what people who've eaten croc meat at Nkonjane's Car Wash and Game eatery in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni, were told
Some customers said the meat tasted like fish, chicken, and pork.
The owner of the car wash, Sbusiso Tembe, said crocodile meat was delicious and encouraged people to eat it.
Sbusiso said he sold game meat, which included crocodile, warthog and porcupine.
He said the meat was low fat and high in protein but was only good for one's heart lungs blood circulation.
"When I started selling the game meat, the customers were scared to eat it. Others were saying there was no way they could eat the crocodile meat.
"But once they tasted it, they came back for more because the meat was tastier than other meat," said Sbusiso.

On Saturday, 16 November, Daily Sun spoke to some customers from Ekurhuleni and some who had come all the way from Soweto.
Zanele Tembe said: "The croc meat is nice. When I first tasted it, I thought it was fish because I saw one bone. Since then, I've also bought it for the whole family."
Simon Cumbane said the meat was healthy.
"There was a lot of fear in the beginning, especially when I thought about how crocodiles attack people. But I tasted it and love it. The crocodile may have a slight fishy taste and is delicious," said Simon.
Lerato Shele said she loved the game meat. She said porcupine meat was good for everyone, especially women.
"Porcupine meat is known to have a strong, gamey flavour that is similar to wild boar or venison. It is often described as being quite tough and chewy but also very rich in flavour," said Lerato.
