Former cop turned killer Rosemary Ndlovu’s documentary earns SAFTA nomination

The gripping Showmax Original true-crime documentary series Rosemary’s HitList produced by IdeaCandy and directed by Valentino Mathibela, with Richard Gregory as a consulting director has been nominated for a South African Film and Television Award (SAFTA). The series dives deep into the chilling story of Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu, a former police officer turned serial killer, whose calculated murders shocked the nation.

The documentary details the shocking details of how Rosemary entrusted to uphold the law, exploited her position to orchestrate the deaths of her family members in pursuit of insurance payouts.

Disturbingly, she would apply for funeral covers on her victims before carrying out the murders, demonstrating a calculated and premeditated approach to her heinous crimes. Her victims included her sister, nieces, nephews, and even her own boyfriend who was the father of her child.

In a recent development, eNCA reports that Rosemary appeared in the Kempton Park Regional Court for attempted murder charges related to her alleged plot to kill a police officer who investigated her killing spree.

She is currently serving six life sentences including 10 years for attempting to murder her mother, Maria Mushwana.
