The 22-year-old son of the woman killed while scavenging for food on a Limpopo farm says he had waited outside the property when police went to look for her, and they returned to tell him his mother was dead and lying in a pigsty.
An emotional Ranti Makgato testified that he had given police photos of his mother, Maria Makgato, when he reported her missing after she failed to return home on the day she went to the pig farm.
They confirmed to me that the body of my mother is inside, and she is dead, he testified at the Polokwane high court yesterday.
