Moses Sithole

di Johann Bachmann (Autore)

Worldwide True Crime Reports, 2025

In the dawn of South Africa's democracy, when the world celebrated freedom and rebirth, a predator emerged from the shadows. Between 1994 and 1995, Moses Sithole, known as the "ABC Killer," raped and murdered at least 38 women across Pretoria, Johannesburg, and Boksburg. His victims were young, Black, and unemployed—women searching for opportunity in a fragile new nation. He offered hope in the form of fictitious job interviews. What they found instead was horror. Drawing on police files, trial records, and firsthand accounts, Moses Sithole: True Crime Serial Killers is a chilling exploration of one of Africa's most infamous murderers. It exposes not only the mind of a manipulative killer but also the systemic failures that allowed him to thrive amid chaos—the corruption, the poverty, the police indifference, and the fragile institutions of a society rebuilding itself after apartheid. Through the voices of survivors and investigators, author Johann Bachmann reconstructs the terror that gripped South Africa in the mid-1990s. From Detective Micki Pistorius's groundbreaking profiling work to Thandiwe Mkhize's desperate search for her missing sister, the narrative moves beyond true crime—it becomes a portrait of endurance, grief, and resilience in the face of brutality. This book refuses to glorify the killer. Instead, it honors the women whose lives were stolen and shines a harsh light on the inequality and violence that still haunt modern South Africa. It is a story of justice pursued through trauma, and a nation forced to confront its darkest truths. Haunting, compassionate, and meticulously researched, Moses Sithole: True Crime Serial Killers is more than a recounting of crimes—it's a sociological autopsy of post-apartheid South Africa, where the promise of freedom clashed with the enduring shadow of violence.
