South African Farmers Charged With Double Murder

Three men, including farm owner Zachariah Johannes Olivier, are accused of murdering two women, Maria Makgatho and Locadia Ndlovu, and feeding their bodies to pigs on a Limpopo farm in South Africa. The women allegedly trespassed onto the property in August to collect expired dairy products when they were shot. A third man accompanying them was injured and managed to seek help, leading police to discover the women's decomposed bodies in a pigsty. The accused face multiple charges, including premeditated murder and possession of an unlicensed firearm, with one man also charged for being in the country illegally. Public outrage has prompted protests outside the court, with demands for the men to be denied bail and receive the harshest penalties. The case continues to raise concerns about violent crimes on South African farms and the treatment of farm workers.
