Love, Blood & Death

Khathaza fills those coffins as his twisted feelings for MaNgcobo take over.

Khathaza’s (Sibonile Ngubane) mission was simple – if a bit twisted – when he arrived in KwaMashu with his sister Fihliwe (Phumzile Mlangeni) in May this year. The sharp-dressed coffin salesman had vengeance in mind. He knew that crimelord Nkunzi (Masoja Msiza) had burnt his and Fihliwe’s mother to death way back when, and Khathaza also believed that Nkunzi had murdered their brother Steleka (Mduduzi Mnguni). Nkunzi would be punished. Nkunzi would be humbled and destroyed. And then Nkunzi would die.

But from the moment that Khathaza sought to humiliate Nkunzi by taking away every good thing in his life, starting with his wife MaNgcobo (Dawn Thandeka King), he’s had the reins yanked right out of his hands. Because once Khathaza fell in love with and married MaNgcobo himself, his head wasn’t in control anymore, his heart was. And his heart has led him to terrible choices, to the point of even killing his own sister in late November to save MaNgcobo. Now in the first week of December, as romantic obsession, betrayal of his own blood and vengeance go to outright war within Khathaza’s mind, his insanity will flood over the women of KwaMashu.
