The final heist

MaNgcobo defies orders and organises a hijacking heist that will lead to fatal consequences.

Get one thing straight: MaNgcobo (Dawn Thandeka King) isn’t the type of mob wife who sits at home waiting for her deadly gangster husband Nkunzi Mhlongo (Masoja Msiza) to return from his wild adventures, ready to wait on him hand and foot and lend a hand counting his stacks of cash. “She’d much rather be at Nkunzi’s side and hijack cars or orchestrate ATM explosions,” says Dawn. But every time that MaNgcobo brings up the topic, Nkunzi shuts her down – after all this time, he still doesn’t think that MaNgcobo is skilled enough to run the streets with him.

To prove her capabilities, MaNgcobo goes behind her crook husband’s back and organises the biggest car heist that KwaMashu has ever seen this fortnight. She gathers the best hijackers in town and they plan to steal dozens of luxury cars. “If she succeeds, Nkunzi might change his mind and accept her offer of partnership. As we know by now, MaNgcobo is a powerhouse. She’s interested in building an empire with her man,” says the actress of MaNgcobo’s secret scheming.
