A white South African farmer, Zachariah Johannes Olivier, and his two employees, Adrian de Wet and William Musora, are set to go on trial for the murder of two black women who were allegedly shot dead and fed to pigs on the farm.
The victims, Maria Makgato and Lucia Ndlovu, were reportedly looking for food on the farm in Limpopo province when they were killed.
The case has sparked outrage and racial tensions in South Africa, with the three men also facing charges of attempted murder and possession of an unlicensed firearm. Musora, a Zimbabwean national, faces an additional charge under South Africa’s Immigration Act.
The trial is expected to draw significant attention and scrutiny.
