Two women were killed when a wall collapsed on them on a farm outside Maake, near Tzaneen, Limpopo police said on Saturday.

"We are investigating the death [on Friday evening] of two women, aged 31 and 61 respectively," Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe said.

"These women were sitting next to a boundary wall and there was a tractor working alongside that wall.

"...The wall started to crack and, upon cracking, it fell on top of the women and they died on the spot."
