The all-powerful Jack Mabaso has to confront his history if he wants to move forward.
LEZANNE JANSE VAN RENSBURG
Family matters
It’s been almost a month since Jack (Vusi Kunene) found himself at the wrong end of a gun when an unknown assailant attempted to assassinate him. Bleeding out on an apartment floor and fighting for his life, things didn’t look too good for our favourite villain. Fortunately, he pulled through. But Vusi says that his character is far from okay following the shooting. “He’s not doing very well. He has nightmares,” reveals the actor.

While he has physically recovered, Jack’s mental state is fragile and hanging by a thread. He’s having a strange, recurring nightmare in which he finds himself in danger. Lurking in the shadows is an unknown woman who simply stands by and watches him suffer. “She just leaves him there. He feels abandoned,” says Vusi. Naturally, this leaves Jack shaken and confused and he begins to think that his dream could be linked to his recent shooting.

BE GONE, DEMONS!

In search for answers, Jack sends his trusty henchman Luzuko (Nyaniso Dzedze) to find out who ordered the hit on him. But Luzuko doesn’t find much to work with, leaving Jack perplexed. Unsure what to do next, Jack turns to his sangoma Jobe (Max Nkoe) in the hopes of finding clarity. “Jack is desperate for answers. He wants to be released from the nightmares, so he is willing to do anything. He wants peace of mind,” says Vusi, adding that his character wants to know what’s up with the weird dreams and how he can rid himself of the disturbing visions.
