"Man Killed By His Own Captive Lions In South Africa"

"A man has been mauled to death by his own captive lions in a game reserve in South Africa.

The victim has been named by local media as Leon van Biljon, and South African news website Netwerk24 reported that he was killed at the Mahala View Lion Lodge, near the northern town of Cullinan, as he attempted to fix a broken fence in the lion enclosure.

Van Biljon offered "exclusive lion lectures, feedings and game drives for guests,' according to the Mahala View Lion Lodge website. According to local media and online reviews of the lodge, van Biljon was widely known as 'The Lion Man.'"
