A new film exposes the dirty secrets behind a family's fake holy image. Actress Mongeni Bhebhe stars in Imali yegazi, a story about greed and betrayal. Her character belongs to a wealthy family whose riches come entirely from crime, their piety just a public performance. The film is shot in locations around Bulawayo, including the Nkulumane area.
Bhebhe portrays a glamour-obsessed slay queen with serious theft skills. She describes a bizarre ritual where the family waters a mysterious tree with milk to protect their status. Their deception deepens when they arrange a marriage for a younger sister into the rival Ndlovu family. This move is purely tactical, aimed at stealing heist strategies from the notorious clan.
Both families are secretly hired for the same cash transport robbery, a test set by an anonymous employer. A violent confrontation erupts during the hijacking attempt. Bhebhe's character and her sister Mono are caught in the crossfire, both suffering gunshot wounds in the chaotic climax.
Bhebhe also wrote and directed the project, using it to critique societal hypocrisy. She aims to highlight the double lives of those pretending to be righteous while committing terrible acts. The movie serves as a moral reflection on the illusions of wealth and the consequences of unchecked ambition.
