Make no mistake: escort madam Georgina aka Gigi (Nambitha Ben-Mazwi) doesn’t dabble in the business. But she does know how to use her feminine wiles to get ahead in her personal life. “Gigi knows how to lure in property developer Muzi (Sdumo Mtshali). She uses her body and sex and she gets him to fall in love with her. But there is actual romance despite the fact that he’s married,” says Nambitha. Muzi and his architect business partner wife Lwandle (Jo-Anne Reyneke) have been trying to have a baby for years following an offscreen miscarriage and that has left cracks in their marriage, which Nambitha says Gigi is happy to take advantage of. “Gigi has spotted the gaps and she has used that to target Muzi. She has what he wants: a womb.” Gigi has her own agenda and she’s going to remind Muzi of her “abilities”.
GOOD GIRL GONE
Gigi is only 23 but she’s lived a lifetime that others could dream of, explains the actress who plays her. “Georgina comes from a well-off family. Her father (offscreen) is Lwandle’s pastor, which is how she knows about Muzi and Lwandle. She is a college dropout who hasn’t had to deal with consequences because she’s always talked her way out of trouble.”
