The case of two black women who were allegedly shot and fed to pigs by a white farmer and two of his workers has caused outrage in South Africa.<\/b><\/p>\n

Maria Makgato, 45, and Lucia Ndlovu, 34, were allegedly looking for food on the farm near Polokwane in South Africa\u2019s northern Limpopo province in August when they were shot.<\/p>\n

Their bodies were then alleged to have been given to pigs in an apparent attempt to dispose of the evidence.<\/p>\n

A court is now to decide whether to grant bail to farm owner Zachariah Johannes Olivier, 60, and his employees Adrian de Wet, 19, and William Musora, 50, ahead of their murder trial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The three men have not yet been asked to enter a plea in court, which will happen when the trial begins at a later date.<\/p>\n

At previous hearings, protesters have demonstrated outside court demanding that the suspects be denied bail.<\/p>\n

Ms Makgato\u2019s brother Walter Mathole has told the BBC the incident has further exacerbated racial tension between black and white people in South Africa.<\/p>\n

This is especially rife in rural areas of the country, despite the end of the racist system of apartheid 30 years ago.<\/p>\n
