Three in court for murder of two women at Limpopo pig farm
The case against a Limpopo farm owner and two employees accused of killing two women and feeding their bodies into a pigsty has been postponed to next Friday, August 30.
Zachariah Olivier (60), Rudolph De Wet (19) and Zimbabwean national William Musora (40) briefly appeared before the Mankweng Magistrate Court today.
They were charged with two counts of premeditated murder, one count of attempted murder, possession of a firearm and ammunition and contravention of Immigration Act.
"What is disturbing about this incident is that not only did the perpetrators shoot them, but they have also fed them to the pigs after they killed them. We are going to come here on 30 August when the three accused are appearing so that we show our dissatisfaction and so that they do not also get bail," said Mamedupi Teffo the executive mayor of Capricorn District Municipality.
He attended court proceedings.
45-year-old Maria Makgato and 35-year-old Zimbabwean national Locadia Ndlovhu were shot and killed at Onvervaght farm in Sebayeng outside Polokwane on Saturday.
Their bodies were found in a state of decomposition on Tuesday.
47-year-old, Mabutho Ncube, who was with the victims was also shot and wounded.
The victims were allegedly trying to collect leftovers from the farm's dumping side when the accused shot them.
