The farm owner where two women scavenging for expired food were killed and thrown into a pigsty had planned to take the blame for their murders so his two workers could walk free.
However, he changed his mind after the three of them were arrested, resulting in one of his employees panicking and deciding to become a state witness, spilling the beans about the events of August 2024, when Maria Makgato and Lucadia Ndlovu were shot dead.
This is according to 21-year-old Adrian Rudolph de Wet, who was employed at Zacharia Oliviers farm.
