David Randitsheni (born 1964/5, died 2009[1]) was a South African rapist and serial killer who in 2009 was convicted on 10 counts of murder, 17 counts of rape and 18 counts of kidnapping and one count of indecent assault. He was sentenced to 16 life sentences and 220 years in prison with the judge stipulating that he could not be considered for parole before serving at least 35 years in prison by which time he will be 80 years old.[2] Only one of his victims was an adult (a woman), the rest were all children.
The crimes were committed over a four-year period from 2004 to 2008 around the town of Modimolle in the Limpopo province.
Randitsheni was found hanging in his prison cell from an apparent suicide shortly after commencing his sentence.[3]
