Asande Baninzi

Asande Baninzi (born 1983) is a South African spree killer.

Baninzi claimed 19 lives between June and August 2001. He was convicted of fourteen murders, four rapes of hijacking victims and two armed robberies. In addition to 19 life sentences, he was sentenced to 189 years' imprisonment.

In order to gain money for drugs, Baninzi claimed in his plea statement that the mass killings, rapes, and hijackings took place between May and August 2001.

When authorities cornered his accomplice, Mtutuzeli Nombewu, popularly known as "Wox", in a home in Gugulethu, he shot himself to avoid arrest.

Baninzi, who is currently serving four life sentences for the murder of a family of four living in Delft, in the Cape Flats, pleaded guilty to all his convictions.
