In a shocking case that has gripped the nation, Zachariah Johannes Olivier, a farm owner in Limpopo, South Africa, along with his two employees, Andrian Rudolph de Wet and William Musora, has been charged with the premeditated murder of two women. The victims, Maria Makgatho and Locadia Ndlovu, allegedly met their tragic end on Olivier's farm in August. Reports indicate that the women were shot and their bodies later discovered in a pigsty on the property. Musora, originally from Zimbabwe, faces additional charges for being in South Africa illegally.
The horrific incident has drawn widespread condemnation, including from the South African Human Rights Commission, which expressed deep concern over the nature of the killings. A third man, identified as Ndlovu's husband, reportedly survived the attack with injuries and managed to crawl to a nearby road to seek assistance.
The three accused appeared in court to request bail; however, the hearing was postponed until October. They are also facing charges of attempted murder and possession of an unlicensed firearm. Authorities have stated that the women were allegedly trespassing on the farm when the tragic events unfolded.
The case has sparked outrage and calls for justice across the country. Police are actively investigating the incident, seeking to uncover further details surrounding the circumstances of these brutal killings. Meanwhile, the community remains on edge as they await further developments in this chilling case.
