A Zimbabwean woman and her friend met a brutal end in Limpopo, South Africa, at the hands of pig farmer Zachariah Johannes Olivier, farm supervisor Andrian Rudolph De Wet, and employee William Musora. The three men shot the women and subsequently fed their bodies to pigs.
According to reports, 47-year-old Mariah Makgato and 34-year-old Zimbabwean national Lucia Ndlovu, along with Ndlovu’s husband, visited the Limpopo farm but were shot. Only the husband survived.
The accused face charges of premeditated murder, attempted murder, possession of an unlicensed firearm, and ammunition, and defeating the ends of justice. Musora is also charged with being in South Africa illegally.
On August 17, 2024, after a truck dropped off expired goods at the farm, the victims trespassed to collect these goods and were shot by the accused, who had planned to shoot any trespassers. The surviving husband crawled to the main road and received medical help.
The following day, Musora found the bodies, informed Olivier and De Wet, and they disposed of the bodies in pig stalls. The pigs then consumed part of one body. Olivier later disposed of the firearm used in the crime.
The incident was reported on August 20, 2024, and the men were arrested last Wednesday.
They appeared in court on Friday, and their case has been postponed to August 30 for profiling, with the men remaining in custody.
