South African farm worker says he was forced to feed women to pigs
According to lawyers, a white South African farm worker accused of killing two black women, said he had to feed his bodies to pigs.
Adrian de Wet, 45 -year -old Maria Makgato and 34 -year -old Lucia Ndlovu allegedly looking for food on a farm near Polokwane in South Africa’s northern Limpopo province of South Africa.
It was claimed that their bodies were later given to pigs at a prominent attempt to disposal the evidence.
20 -year -old Mr. De Wet turned the state witness when the hearing started on Monday and said that the farm owner Zachariah Johannes Johannes Olivier shot and killed two women.
Mrs. Makgato and Mrs. Ndlovu were looking for dairy products to be excused soon for pigs when they were killed.
Mr. De Wet, a supervisor on the farm, will express that he is under pressure when he has to throw his bodies into a pig storage, according to his lawyer and his lawyer.
If the court accepts the statement, all the accusations against him will be reduced.
The case led to anger in South Africa and intensified racial tensions in the country.
Such tension is particularly common in rural areas despite the end of the racist racist system 30 years ago. While most special agricultural lands remain in the hands of the white minority, most farm workers fueled the anger between black and weakly paid, black population, while many white farmers complain about high crime rates.
50 -year -old William Musora, another farm worker, is the third defendant. He and his 60 -year -old Mr. Olivier have not yet defense after bail applications failed and did not stay behind the bars.
The three men are also accused of having a murder attempt to shoot at her husband, Ms. Ndlovu, who is with women on the farm, to have an unlicensed fiery weapons and to overcome the end of justice.
Musora, a citizen of a Zimbabwe, faces an additional accusation within the scope of Migration Law on a illegal immigrant status of South Africa.
The Supreme Court of Limpopo was full of supporters and relatives of the victims before the proceedings.
Previously, members of the opposition party, who wanted to close the farm, were also involved in the courtroom.
The hearing was postponed next week.
