This week, forensic psychologist Gerard Labuschagne takes us inside one of South Africa’s most disturbing — yet largely ignored — serial murder cases. Between 2007 and 2009, 16 women and a child were raped, strangled and dumped in the bushveld around Westonaria and Lenasia. Most victims were unidentified. Many were unemployed, vulnerable, and invisible to the public eye. But not to their killer — Madumetja Jack Mogale. In this episode: From con-man prophet to convicted killer, this is the story of The Westonaria Strangler — a case that should have shaken the nation. 🎧Subscribe & follow Profiler Africa📬 Contact: profilerafricainfo@gmail.com 🌍 Website: plotshift.co.za
