Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A trial date will be set for an alleged serial killer when he appears in the Seshego Magistrate’s Court in Polokwane, Limpopo, again in two weeks.<\/p>\n

Themba Prince William Dube briefly appeared in court on Tuesday and was told his trial will be heard in the Limpopo High Court in Polokwane at a date still to be set.<\/p>\n

How Limpopo serial killer tormented the families of his victims<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Some of the bodies were found with parts missing, and the State believed he was dealing in human body parts.<\/p>\n

He appeared amid a protest by residents outside court.<\/p>\n

During an earlier court appearance, Dube told the magistrate he was prepared to tell the truth.<\/p>\n

He said:<\/p>\n

He has been charged with murdering Sarah Mothiba, Moleboheng Mothibeli, Khomotso Makhura, Sanah Sinyatsi, Andrea Cholo, Chisimango Gumbo and Jane Letswalo.<\/p>\n

The women’s bodies were discovered after Dube was arrested for the possession of a cellphone belonging to one of the victims.<\/p>\n
