Despite the involvement of some of the most highly qualified police officers and profilers in SA, the resolution of this case and the apprehension of Dube would not come through smart investigative tools.

In episode 31 of True Crime South Africa, we discuss the serial killer dubbed The Mine Dump Child Killer, whose chilling actions made our worst nightmares a reality.
