Harvested Alive: The Truth About ‘Muti’ Murders in South Africa

This week on Profiler Africa, forensic psychologist Gérard Labuschagne uncovers the terrifying world of muti murders — killings where body parts are harvested for traditional medicine. These aren’t random acts of violence. They’re deliberate, driven by belief, greed, and an underground economy that thrives in the shadows.

We dive into:

What muti murder really means — and why it’s not just “ritual”
A shocking case of a mother who killed her own child
How investigators navigate cultural taboos, community silence, and legal blind spots
Why justice rarely comes for the victims

Recorded live on YouTube | 1 July
Hosted by Paul Llewellyn & Gerard Labuschagne
