Profiler Africa | Episode Out Now

Who’s really killing who in South Africa?

In one of our most explosive episodes yet, Paul Llewellyn and forensic psychologist Gerard Labuschagne sit down with Dr Chris de Kock, former head of SAPS Crime Research, to pull the mask off one of South Africa’s most politicised crime topics: farm murders.

Forget the hashtags, headlines, and hype. We’re cutting through the myth, the fear, and the politics — and getting to the truth.

• What farm murders are — and what they’re not

• Whether white farmers are being specifically targeted

• Why the “white genocide” narrative won’t die

• What SAPS stats say vs. AfriForum's claims

• How race, media and fear shape the national story

• What needs to change in how we talk about and prevent rural crime

Dr Chris de Kock is South Africa’s former head of Crime Information Analysis at SAPS. For decades, he’s been inside the system — and he knows what the numbers really say.

We delve into one of the most disturbing familicides in South African history — the Etwatwa family murders.

On May 23, 2013, a 14-year-old boy in Johannesburg’s East Rand took an axe to his mother, grandmother, six-year-old brother, and four-month-old sister. Four lives ended in one night. A quiet street turned crime scene. A community left reeling. And a nation asking: how could a child commit such horror?

We unpack the chilling events, the whispers of satanism and abuse, and the state's struggle to understand a boy turned killer. With little media coverage and fewer answers, a small team of investigators worked in the shadows to piece together a case that still haunts many today.

This is the case that chilled Johannesburg to the bone.

Between 1989 and 1992, Kobus Geldenhuys — a police officer sworn to protect — unleashed a wave of terror across the city. He raped, murdered, and broke into homes while wearing the badge. By the time it was over, five women were dead, and a community had lost all trust in the uniform.

This week, we dig into how Geldenhuys hid in plain sight, and the twisted psychology that drove his crimes. We’re joined by journalist Janine Lazarus, who worked with police during the hunt — even acting as bait to help catch him. Her story is raw, riveting, and unlike anything you’ve heard.
