Has anybody tried to raise a colony of Siafu in captivity?

I've always had a fascination with highly carnivorous ants, and my ultimate dream is to some day be able to raise and support a colony of deadly African Siafu -- Driver Ants.

I was wondering of anybody has had any measure of success raising a colony? Certainly, it wouldn't be impossible to catch a queen and a few thousand workers to start your nest with. The biggest problem I imagine would be feeding them -- 20-50 million ants eat a lot of food, and at that point they are probably almost eating horse a day or some other outrageous amount of food. Really, I can only see somebody who is relatively wealthy being able to afford to try and raise Siafu.
