He was fishing in the river at the time of the attack, ZimEye.com has been told.
The rare 16-foot crocodile which killed Mr Mukwakwami reportedly sneaked in on him while he was snagging a fishing line late Wednesday afternoon.
The large reptile well-known amongst Chinhoyi residents, is said to be still at large in the waters.
 
A Mermaid?
Community superstitious speculation has been rife that because all casualties for years to date are men, the croc it is not real, is actually a mythical mermaid. Last year several people told ZimEye.com the croc attacks are those a mermaid which is backfiring on men. But investigations carried out by ZimEye.com have shown that the crocodiles are now a problem in the area after they were released following a recent farm invasion on a plot previously owned by a white farmer who used  the reptiles for croc farming.
Meanwhile scores of villagers are currently congregated close to the river-side at a place called Muteputepu whre the attack took place.
