Maria Makgato and Lucia Ndlovu were foraging for food on a farm near Polokwane in South Africa’s northern Limpopo province in August when the farm’s owner, Zakaria Johannes Olivier, allegedly shot them dead. There is.
According to the charges, they carried the carcass and cut up the pig in order to hide the evidence.
Anger against Contri is not great, but he has not yet fully recovered from the years of apartheid.
The court has now granted bail to a 60-year-old white farmer and his two employees, 19-year-old Adrian de Wet and 50-year-old William Musola, ahead of their murder trial.
The three men did not enter pleas in court. When the trial begins, it properly begins.
At the previous hearing, demonstrators demanded that the suspect remain in custody outside the courtroom.
Walter Mattole, Maria Makgat’s brother, said the incident was a sign of racial tension between South Africa’s black and white Pipo, even though 30 years had passed since the end of the racist apartheid system. He told the BBC that it was exacerbating tensions.
The three men who appeared in court are also charged with attempted murder in the shooting death of Mabso Ncube, the husband of Lucia Ndlovu, one of the women who died.
Ncube Bin Day was involved in a shooting incident with a woman on August 17, but managed to crawl away after being hit by the bullets and then called for help from a doctor.
He also reported the incident to the police, who discovered the decomposing bodies of his wife and Maria Maggat at the Olivier pig farm a few days later.
Mahor told the BBC that he was chasing police inside the pig farm after he saw a pig cutting off parts of my sister’s body.
Tori says she goes to Dat Farm to look for food that has expired or is about to expire. Foods like Datnawetin pig are usually carved.
Makato Toku’s family said they were shocked by her death, especially her four sons, the oldest of whom was 22 and the youngest just five years old.
“My mom passed away painfully. She was a loving mother and would do anything for us. We will never lack her love,” said her eldest son Ranti Makgat. told the BBC.
“If her murder suspect doesn’t get bail, I’ll sleep through the night,” he said on e-tok.
The opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party wants to shut down the farms.
“The EFFF is not fit to stand by and watch as products from the farm continue to be sold on the market, as it is dangerous for consumers,” said Party and AFTA police who discovered the corpse.
The South African Human Rights Commission also condemns the killings and calls for anti-racism dialogue among affected communities.
These groups represent farmers, who are usually white, and say the farming community feels constantly under attack in a country with high crime rates.
But there is no evidence that farmers face any greater risk than anyone else.
Two similar incidents have recently occurred in South Africa, increasing racial tensions.
In August, a farmer and a security guard allegedly killed two men at a farm in Lairs Drift, near the small town of Middleburg, in eastern Mpumalanga.
Di Men Bin Day was accused of stealing sheep, and Di Farmer and I, as guards, burned the bodies beyond recognition.
Police do not arrest them and keep them in custody, but investigators are unable to perform DNA analysis on the dead men’s remains.
In a recent incident, Christoffel Stomann, a 70-year-old white farmer from Ratsville in the Western Cape, allegedly ran over a six-year-old boy with his car, breaking both his legs, after stealing oranges from his farm.
Tori says that the boy and Mama Bin Day are passing by the farm to go to the city to buy something and to pick up oranges on the ground. And the mother watches in horror as the farmer climbs the boy with his car.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) announced that the farmer faces two charges: attempted murder and reckless driving.
NPA police officer Eric Ntabazarira told the BBC the state opposed the bail application and said he was being charged with a bin file.
Two political parties, the African Movement for Change and the Pan-Africanist Congress, want to take control of Mr Stoman’s farm to resolve the issue.
