Johannes van Rooyen (born 1979–1980) and Dumisani Makhubela (born 1978–1979) are a pair of South African serial killers,[note 1] rapists, and mass murderers who murdered seven people in Mhluzi over the autumn and winter of 2005. Although most infamous for murdering a family of four, they also killed a woman and a young couple, all in the Mpumalanga province. They were arrested soon after their final two murders and each sentenced to 445 years imprisonment.
