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.

Produktbeschreibung
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.
Autorenporträt
Johann Bachmann is a multidisciplinary author whose diverse body of work explores the intricate terrain of the human experience through psychology, philosophy, cultural anthropology, and sharp-witted satire. Drawing from academic foundations and lived insight, Bachmann crafts narratives that range from meditative explorations of the psyche to biting critiques of modern society. With works such as Reclaiming Yourself: Overcoming Trauma with CBT, The Human Condition, and The Modern Man, Bachmann demonstrates a deep commitment to personal growth, emotional resilience, and the evolving dynamics of identity in a rapidly shifting world. His approach is marked by clarity, compassion, and intellectual rigor, making complex psychological and sociological concepts accessible and deeply relatable. In titles like Angels & Demons and The Book of the Dead, he delves into the symbolic and mythological dimensions of the human soul, weaving Jungian archetypes and cross-cultural beliefs into a rich tapestry of introspection and spiritual inquiry. These works speak to readers who are not only curious about the world but also courageously engaged in their own inner journeys. Bachmann's satirical works, including The Capitalist Manifesto, Money & Greed Again: The Adventures of President Ronald Grump, and The Joe Rogain Conspiracy Special, reveal a different dimension of his voice-one that is unafraid to challenge, parody, and expose the absurdities of contemporary power, media, and cultural myth-making. His humor is both irreverent and incisive, offering readers laughter wrapped in social commentary. What unites all of Johann Bachmann's writing is a deep reverence for the questions that shape our lives: What does it mean to be human? How do we find meaning in suffering? What do our myths, systems, and stories reveal about us? Whether addressing the silent wounds of trauma or the loud chaos of politics, Bachmann's work invites readers to think critically, feel deeply, and engage authentically with the world and with themselves. Johann Bachmann continues to write, research, and explore from his home base, where psychology meets storytelling and satire meets sincerity. His books serve as both mirrors and maps-for those seeking understanding in the noise and silence of modern life.
