A trail of killings. One beneficiary<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showmax has just dropped the trailer for Rosemary\u2019s Hitlist<\/em>, a Showmax Original true-crime documentary series about cop-turned-serial-killer Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosemary\u2019s Hitlist <\/em>is produced by IdeaCandy, the company behind the SAFTA-winning true-crime sensation Devilsdorp<\/em>, and directed by Valen\u2019tino Mathibela (the first season of The Real Housewives of Durban, Lebo M – Coming Home<\/em>), with SAFTA winner Richard Gregory (Steinheist<\/em>) as a consulting director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 12 October 2015, Ndlovu\u2019s live-in lover, Yingwani Maurice Mabasa, the father of her only living child at the time, went missing. Three days later, his body was found in Olifantsfontein – with 76 stab wounds. Mabasa had 16 policies in his name, totalling over R400 000 – and Ndlovu was the beneficiary of all of them\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These weren\u2019t the first payouts from suspicious deaths to Ndlovu. She was eventually sentenced in 2021 to six concurrent life terms for the murders of not only Mabasa but also five of her family members: her sister, two nephews, a niece and a cousin. Together, their killsurance was worth over R1.4 million to Ndlovu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ndlovu was also sentenced to an additional 30 years: 10 years each for fraud, incitement to commit murder, and the attempted murder of her mother, Maria Mushwana, her sister Joyce, and Joyce\u2019s five children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handing down the judgment, Judge Ramarumo Monama compared Ndlovu to the 1932 murder case of Daisy de Melker, saying South Africa hadn\u2019t seen anything else similar in the last 89 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
