How Limpopo serial killer tormented the families of his victims
Dube, 36, is facing seven charges of murder, seven of kidnapping and one charge of contravening the Immigration Act. It is alleged that Dube, a Zimbabwean national, was in the country illegally when he allegedly committed the crimes.
He allegedly lured seven women with the promise of employment before brutally killing them and dumped their bodies in different locations around Polokwane between August and October 2021.
Some of the bodies were found with parts missing, and the State believed he was dealing in human body parts.
He appeared amid a protest by residents outside court.
During an earlier court appearance, Dube told the magistrate he was prepared to tell the truth.
He said:
He has been charged with murdering Sarah Mothiba, Moleboheng Mothibeli, Khomotso Makhura, Sanah Sinyatsi, Andrea Cholo, Chisimango Gumbo and Jane Letswalo.
The women’s bodies were discovered after Dube was arrested for the possession of a cellphone belonging to one of the victims.
