Thwala was known by the moniker "The Phoenix Strangler".Thwala began his year-long rape and murder spree in 1996 in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province. His modus operandi was to lure local women into accompanying him through the sugarcane fields of Mount Edgecombe near the town of Phoenix with the promise of employment as domestic servants in hotels.

Afterwards, hoping to destroy any physical evidence of his attack, he would set fire to the cane fields.[
