Batonga people found in the northern part of Zimbabwe refer to a crocodile as munkuli. The animal pretends to be asleep when in actual fact the beast will be waiting to pounce on its prey and this is how Witness Munkuli looks when you meet him in the street he doesn't show that he was such a good goalkeeper even during his playing days but those who witnessed how good he was then would tell a story about why he fits the crocodile similarity.^[2]
