Herbert Otto Penzhorn (14 April 1944 - 23 February 2011)

Abstract

It was with shock, if not total disbelief, that the surgical community in Pretoria learned of the untimely death of our colleague Herbie Penzhorn on the morning of 23 February 2011. He was killed by crocodiles on his farm at Kroondal near Rustenburg while attempting to repair a broken water-pipe on one of the holding dams that formed part of his crocodile farming operation.
