May 6, 1984 - Sibusiso Duma

Operating out of Pietermaritzburg over several years, Duma used his position as a taxi driver to access victims, a occupation that granted proximity and mobility that structured much of his offending. His crimes spanned theft, kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder — a range of conduct that resulted in eight life sentences across two separate convictions. Criminologists classified him as a disorganized killer, reflecting the variability in his methods and targets rather than a fixed, calculated pattern.

From Wikipedia

Sibusiso Derrick Duma (born 6 May 1984) is a South African serial killer who was convicted of two murders in 2007 and five murders in 2009 and sentenced to 8 life sentences in prison. He was mostly active around the City of Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu Natal.

Duma partook in theft, kidnapping, torture, rape and murder. He worked as a taxi driver and used his vehicle as a weapon on occasion, as well as to obtain his victims. Duma's reasoning, victimology and methodology changed sometimes from victim to victim, indicating that he was a disorganised killer.
