It's kill or be killed for Zola Nombona #Generations

Politics is an ugly business. But there's one man who takes the messy political game to a new level: Minister Walter Nkaba (Nimrod Nkosi), who's proven that he's willing to lie, cheat, steal and even murder to retain power. 

He once again finds himself at the centre of a tender scandal but, unlike his previous dodgy deals, this one leads to bloodshed.

Fortunately, intrepid Flying News investigative journalist Pamela (Zola Nombona) is on the case. She's been putting the squeeze on the minister since October in an effort to link him to multi-billion rand tender fraud and, late in October, the damning Nkaba article was published. 

"That story led to a formal investigation," Zola reminds us. But the article also dealt a devastating blow to Pamela when she was told her husband Siyanda (Kay Sibiya) had committed suicide.

Convinced that Nkaba had a hand in Siyanda's death, Pamela goes on a dangerous mission to expose the shady politician. And no threat from anyone could dissuade her. 

"She's relentless!" exclaims Zola. "The danger is thrilling for her." But is her character's grief perhaps blinding her from the true danger she's facing? "She knows exactly who she's dealing with, but she's gutsy and fearless," Zola assures us.
