Elias Xitavhudzi
Elias Xitavhudzi was a serial killer who murdered 16 men and women in Atteridgeville, South Africa, in the 1950s. Xitavhudzi was a South African and targeted only whites in a strictly-segregated community. His killing spree caused a local sensation during the peak years of South Africa's apartheid regime.
Prior to his capture, he acquired the nickname "Pangaman". Following his conviction, he was sentenced to death and hanged on 14 November 1960.
Xitavhudzi was the second in a series of at least a half-dozen serial killers to have plagued the township of Atteridgeville.
