We were disposing the evidence because when pigs are hungry enough, they'll eat anything.Polokwane Man Speaks

Haaa kubva nhasi no more porkA South African farm worker has described to a court how he was forced by his boss to feed the bodies of two black women to pigs in an attempt to hide evidence after they were shot.

 

 

 

Adrian De Wet, 21, said he was told to throw the bodies inside a pig enclosure, explaining that "when pigs are hungry enough, they'll eat anything".

 

He admitted opening fire on the two women with his boss - farm owner Zachariah Johannes Olivier - before he ordered him to help dispose of their bodies.

 

Mr Olivier and another man, William Musora, are accused of murder after Maria Makgato, 45, and Lucia Ndlovu, 34, were killed while allegedly looking for food on a farm near Polokwane in South Africa's northern Limpopo province last year.

 

 

 

 

Farm supervisor Mr De Wet was also previously accused of murder, but charges were dropped by the prosecution when he turned state witness. He had argued he was under duress when he was forced to throw the bodies into the pig enclosure.

 

On Thursday, Mr De Wet told Polokwane High Court that he and Mr Olivier, 60, armed themselves with hunting rifles and waited for trespassers to enter the farm on the night of 17 August 2024. He said after waiting for 30 minutes they heard voices of people talking and walking towards their direction. 

 

They then opened fire and heard a person screaming, before inspecting the area and finding a person lying face down. After leaving the area and going to sleep, they returned the next morning and found it was the body of a woman. 

 

 

 

 

Mr De Wet said he was asked by Mr Olivier to help him throw the body inside the enclosure where eight to ten big adult pigs were kept. The following day another body was found about 25 metres from where the first was found. 

 

 

 

 

 

Mr Olivier, Mr De Wet and Mr Musora, 50, are said to have then thrown the second body inside the pigsty. On the following Tuesday they returned to it and found that the pigs had bitten off large chunks of flesh on the women.

 

State prosecutor Advocate George Sekhukhune asked Mr De Wet what the purpose of placing the bodies inside the pigsty was, to which he answered: "We were disposing the evidence because when pigs are hungry enough, they'll eat anything."

 

 

 

 

Mr De Wet also said Mr Olivier chopped up the hunting rifles with an angle grinder and burnt the wooden parts of the gun. They then threw away the cut up weapons including the spent cartridges inside a borehole. The son of victim Ms Makgato cried repeatedly in court, while Mr Olivier was seen wiping away tears as Mr De Wet gave his evidence.

 

 

 

 

The case has sparked outrage across South Africa, exacerbating racial tensions between black and white people in the country.

May Justice be served.

Rest in Peace ladies ?????

Homeowners Insurance: What Your Policy May Not Cover

Homeowners insurance protects one of your biggest investments, but many people do not fully understand what their policy covers. They only find out after damage happens, and by then it may be too late.

A standard homeowners insurance policy may cover damage from fire, wind, theft, vandalism, certain water damage, and liability claims. It may also help pay for temporary housing if your home becomes unlivable after a covered event.

However, there are important exclusions. Many standard policies do not cover flood damage. If you live in an area with flood risk, you may need separate flood insurance.

Earthquake damage is also usually excluded unless you buy additional coverage. Sewer backups, mold, termite damage, wear and tear, and maintenance problems may also be limited or excluded.

Another important issue is replacement cost versus actual cash value. Replacement cost coverage may pay to replace damaged property with new items. Actual cash value coverage subtracts depreciation, which can result in a lower payout.

Your policy limits matter. If your home has increased in value or construction costs have gone up, your old coverage may not be enough to rebuild. You should review your policy regularly to make sure the dwelling coverage is accurate.

Personal property coverage also has limits. Expensive jewelry, electronics, art, firearms, or collectibles may require additional coverage.

Liability protection is another important part of homeowners insurance. If someone is injured on your property, liability coverage may help pay legal costs or damages.

To avoid surprises, review your declarations page, exclusions, deductibles, and coverage limits. Ask your insurance agent what is not covered and whether you need additional protection.

Homeowners insurance is not just a bill. It is financial protection for your house, belongings, and future. Understanding your policy before disaster strikes can save you from major financial stress.
