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.

Maria Makgato, 45, and Lucia Ndlovu, 34, were allegedly looking for food on the farm near Polokwane in South Africa’s northern Limpopo province in August when they were shot.

Their bodies were then alleged to have been given to pigs in an apparent attempt to dispose of the evidence.

    You’re always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.

    And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it’s no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.

    This shit isn’t world news. It’s local news. I don’t need to hear about every murder happening in every corner of the world.

      It happened in the world. It’s relevant. You aren’t obligated to read it. Scrolling is a thing that exists for a reason.

          It just says “world@…” for me. Are we seeing the same thing? And the description I read says it’s about “events happening around the world” which is pretty vague but doesn’t immediately scream that it needs to be international news.

          Edit: I see it’s tucked into the logo. I dunno, I don’t put high priority into a logo.

            The display name is “world news”. The worldnews community was redirected here because we didn’t need two, and this one had more users.

        I just realized there’s another Soup! Though you were clearly Soup first. So maybe I should retire this account.

    I’ve been to Polokwane twice, it’s a nice place. However, there’s no way I would ever approach someone’s farm unannounced in South Africa.

          Why would that be the case? Unless those 2 people already had prion disease, I’m not understanding the connection you’re alleging.

            i was under the impression you dont feed humans to humans or mammals to mammals due to prion pathways
