In Limpopo, a farmer and two employees appeared in court on Friday, facing charges related to the murder of two women whose decomposed bodies were discovered in a pigsty. Zachariah Olivier, 60, along with Adriaan de Wet, 19, and William Musoro, 45, are charged with two counts of murder, attempted murder, possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition, and obstructing justice. Musoro also faces charges for violating immigration laws due to his illegal status.
The court has postponed the case to August 30 for a formal bail hearing. The arrests followed the finding of the bodies on a farm in Sebayeng near Mankweng on Tuesday. The investigation was launched after Maria Makgato, 45, from South Africa, went missing following a visit to the farm with a 35-year-old foreign national. Both women had gunshot wounds, and a 47-year-old foreign man who was with them was shot and hospitalized. Police are continuing their investigation.
