The Limpopo Pig Farm Horror — Women’s Bodies Allegedly Fed to Pigs After Brutal Murder
In what has been described as one of the most horrifying murder cases South Africa has seen in years, the Limpopo High Court has been gripped by chilling testimony about two women whose bodies were allegedly fed to pigs after they were shot dead on a farm.
According to witness statements, Maria Makgato (45) and Lucia Ndlovu (34) were killed in 2024 on a farm owned by Zachariah Johannes Olivier, with the help of his alleged accomplice William Musora. The shocking detail that followed—their bodies being fed to pigs—has sparked outrage, disbelief, and calls for deeper investigation into violence, exploitation, and racial tension in rural farming communities.
One of the key witnesses, Adrian de Wet, who was previously a co-accused but later turned state witness, told the court that he was ordered to dispose of the women’s bodies by throwing them into the pigsty. He testified that after the women were shot, his boss allegedly demanded that he “get rid of the mess.” The next morning, all that remained were bones and blood-stained earth near the feeding area.
De Wet said he had kept quiet out of fear for his life, claiming Olivier was known for his temper and owned several unlicensed firearms. The testimony sent a wave of shock through the courtroom, with family members of the victims breaking down in tears as the grisly details were read aloud.
The State alleges that the women were not intruders, as claimed by the defense, but rather farm workers who had been involved in a dispute over unpaid wages. It’s alleged that an argument turned violent when one of the women threatened to report the matter to the police. That’s when, according to prosecutors, Olivier decided to “teach them a lesson” — a decision that turned deadly.
Authorities say evidence from the scene—including bullet casings, burnt clothing, and traces of DNA near the pig enclosure—supports the claims. The accused have pleaded not guilty, maintaining that the women were trespassers shot in self-defense after allegedly breaking into a farmhouse.
The brutality of the alleged act has reignited debates about farm murders, power dynamics between landowners and workers, and the use of fear to control rural laborers. Many South Africans have taken to social media to express horror and disbelief, calling for the maximum penalty if the accused are found guilty.
One online comment read, “Even in death, they were not given dignity. This is beyond evil.”
The case continues in the Limpopo High Court, with forensic experts and police investigators expected to testify next week.
In Limpopo’s local communities, fear and anger are palpable. Villagers near the farm say they’ve long suspected foul play and intimidation by some landowners in the area, but this case has shaken them to the core. Women’s rights activists have organized vigils outside the courthouse, demanding justice for Maria and Lucia and better protection for vulnerable rural workers.
The Department of Justice has promised a thorough investigation, while the National Prosecuting Authority says it will push for life sentences if the accused are convicted.
As the gruesome details unfold, the Limpopo Pig Farm Murder stands as a haunting reminder of how violence, greed, and power can strip away humanity in the most unimaginable way.
