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.

      It’s not? Then why does it say “world news” at the top?

        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.
