South African Farm Worker Says Boss Made Him Feed Black Women to Pigs

A white South African farm owner, Zachariah Johannes Olivier, along with his two employees, is currently facing trial for the alleged murders of two Black women, Maria Makgatho, 45, and Lucia Ndlovu, 34. The tragic incident occurred last August on Olivier’s pig farm in Limpopo, where the women were seeking food following a dairy company's discarded goods. Upon their discovery, they were reportedly shot dead.Alongside murder charges, Olivier, his 20-year-old employee Adrien de Wet, and 50-year-old William Musora face accusations of attempted murder, three counts of obstructing justice, and unlawful possession of firearms. De Wet claims he acted under duress, stating Olivier coerced him into disposing of the bodies in a pig enclosure.Public skepticism surrounds De Wet's defense, with many expressing doubts about his claims. While Olivier and Musora remain incarcerated, the case has intensified racial tensions amid previous violent farm-related incidents, prompting national concern. (Photo: YouTube screenshot/BBC News)
