Overview
- Judge Jane Ngobeni led an inspection at the Onverwaght farm near Polokwane as part of the trial of farm owner Zachariah Olivier and employee William Musora.
- Former co-accused Rudolph de Wet, now a state witness, demonstrated where he says he fired a .303 rifle and indicated the spot linked to Olivier’s alleged .22 shots.
- After viewing the site, the judge recorded inconsistencies with Olivier’s account, noting there were no bushes matching his description of firing warning shots.
- Proceedings resume with Advocate Jacobus Venter continuing de Wet’s cross-examination, and Musora is expected to testify next.
- The case concerns the August 17, 2024 shootings of Maria Makgatho and Lucia Ndlovu, whose bodies were allegedly dumped in a pigsty, with 22 witnesses scheduled to testify.
