In August, Maria Makgato, 45, and Lucia Ndlovu, 34, were shot on a farm close to Polokwane in the northern province of Limpopo, South Africa, when they were apparently searching for food.
Then, in an apparent attempt to get rid of the evidence, it was claimed that their bodies had been given to pigs.
Prior to their murder trial, a court will now choose whether to give bail to farm owner Zachariah Johannes Olivier, 60, and his employees Adrian de Wet, 19, and William Musora, 50.
The court has not yet requested that the three men submit a plea.
Protesters have staged outside of court during prior hearings, calling for the suspects to be granted bail.
According to Walter Mathole, Ms. Makgato’s brother, the incident has made racial tensions between Black and White South Africans even more heightened.
Despite the fact that the racial apartheid system was abolished thirty years ago, this is particularly prevalent in the nation’s rural parts.

Along with being charged with possession of an unregistered firearm, the three men are also accused of attempting to murder Ms. Ndlovu’s husband, who was at the farm with the women. They are currently appearing in court in Polokwane.
Mabutho Ncube made it through the ordeal on Saturday, August 17, in the evening.
