Bad voodoo

KK pays a high price for disobeying the dark forces of the Amaboys spirits.

- EMILE BUTLER-O'BRIEN

Power-hungry and ruthless businessman KK Mulaudzi (Macdonald Ndou) made a pact with the devil back in late 2020 and he’s now living to regret that decision. “He made a deal with the evil Amaboys spirits, that they would give him all the power and the wealth that he could dream of. But there were certain conditions that came with their help. The first was to obey their rules. Second, the Amaboys demanded blood sacrifices – something that KK hasn’t been able to perform yet,” says Macdonald.

The Amaboys are furious that KK has disobeyed them and they’ve punished him since mid January, toying with his sanity and making him appear crazy. They sent him to work, as the boss, wearing nothing but his undies, which he was completely oblivious to. And they’ve driven a wedge between KK and his sons Kgosi (Tebatso Mashishi) and Mudi (Thabelo Makakavhule). “KK is desperate to cut the ties with the Amaboys and take away their power over him, but that is proving to be near impossible. Evil sangoma Master (Kamogelo Letsosa, Felicia from 2017 to 2018 in soapie The Queen, 2016now, see p37) warns KK there will be dire consequences should he do so, but he doesn’t want to listen and he continues to anger them with his disobedience,” adds Macdonald.

In a desperate attempt to cleanse his house from the Amaboys, KK gathers up their artefacts and buries them in the veld. But the wrath of the Amaboys is harsh and their vengeance is cruel: KK’s son Mudi is killed in a helicopter crash. “This is KK’s punishment for what he has done, ignoring warnings,” admits Macdonald, “and he has no idea how to deal with it. He just want to run away and forget that he ever got involved with the Amaboys.”
