A Ticking Bomb

Eunice’s party lifestyle catches up to her as she runs out of money and can’t pay her way out of trouble…

It’s no secret that former physiologist Eunice’s (Oratile Maitisa) life is on a path of destruction. She inherited R1.7 million from her murdered friend Fanie’s (Gift Mokampanyane) trust in April, and she ran about splurging on everything from designer clothes to expensive dinners. Now though, Eunice spends her money on designer drugs. “Eunice became a millionaire overnight and she thinks that she’s untouchable. While partying with her new friends, she takes drugs and not long after, she becomes addicted,” explains Oratile.

What’s more worrying about Eunice’s situation is that she was recently fired from her job – after she pulled one too many disappearing acts. So all she does now is party and take drugs, which soon takes a toll on her finances. “Things get out of hand for Eunice this fortnight and she loses the little that’s left of her money,” warns Oratile.
