Mchunu laments ‘disregard for human life’ in Limpopo pig farm killings
Minister of Police Senzo Mchunu has described the brutal killing of two women in the Limpopo pig farm as showing a complete disregard for human life.
Farm owner Zachariah Olivier and his two employees, Rudolph De Wet and Willian Musora, are set to appear before the Mankweng Magistrate’s Court on Friday in connection with the murders of Maria Makgato and Lucia Ndlovu.
The accused have been charged with two counts of premeditated murder, one count of attempted murder, and possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Musora, who is a Zimbabwean national, faces an additional charge for being in the country illegally.
"The arrest of these suspects is a step towards justice for the victims and their families,” Mchunu said.
“The horrific nature of this crime demands that justice be served without leniency. I strongly condemn these acts and hope that the court will recognise the gravity of this situation during the formal bail application".
Makgato and Ndlovu were shot while collecting expired food at the farm.
Ndlovu’s husband, who was with them at the time, was also shot but survived the incident.
