Jerry Vusimuzi Richardson (May 1949 - April 2009) was an anti-apartheid South African activist and murderer convicted of killing Stompie Seipei. He was the "coach" of the Mandela United Football Club, a soccer team allegedly founded by Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in 1986 and whose members protected her house and engaged in vigilantism, and murdered suspected police informants in the anti-apartheid cycles of the African National Congress (ANC) and its military wing uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) in Soweto.
