When Zuko Mbeki, a jobless Xhosa young man, who spends his time in a shebeen in Upington, filled with shacks, one in which he lives with his brother, Thamsanqa, his wife, Nomsa and their 7 children, learns from the TV in the shebeen, that the alleged murderers of his sister in-law, Nomsa have been acquitted by the court, he sets out to find them.

Nomsa and a Zimbabwean woman, Rufaro, were shot and their bodies fed to pigs in an attempt to dispose of the evidence and conceal the crime.

Rufaro’s husband, Chenzira, was allegedly shot at during the incident but survived.

Zuko has to find a way into Orania as a construction worker, to find the shooters and kill them in very violent and brutal ways, by serving them to the pigs while they are still alive.

Murder in Orania is a tale of family love, nationalism, racism and crime.
