Sure, you’ve heard of the case of convicted serial killer Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu all over the news.
Now, the makers of the Devilsdorp documentary have returned to give the world an inside look at the gruesome murders and crimes committed by Ndlovu with a new docu-series, “Rosemary’s Hitlist”.
The four-part docu-series details how Ndlovu went on a killing spree, murdering several of her family members, including her boyfriend and father of her child, sister, and niece, in order to cash out from their funeral and life insurance policies.
Through well-put-together visuals and detailed interviews, viewers get a clear picture of how Ndlovu committed these killings while using her position as a cop to easily get access to information about her victims, enabling her crimes.
In Rosemary’s Hitlist, we see interviews with key individuals involved in the case, including Advocate Riana Williams, who served as Ndlovu’s prosecutor. Sergeant Keshi Mabunda, the investigating officer, provides insights into the tactics Ndlovu used to lure her victims and details some of the findings that were made during the investigation. Colonel Nthipe L. Boloka, Ndlovu’s former station commander at Tembisa South Police Station, sheds light on Ndlovu’s behavior and personality.
We also get a perspective from Everson Luhanga from Scrolla.Africa, the news publication that broke this story.
The documentary series is now streaming on Showmax, with new episodes out on Wednesdays.
For those who are new to the case…
Ndlovu made headlines in 2022 when she was convicted of six murders and two attempted murders. Her motive was believed to be insurance money, as she allegedly killed her relatives and the father of her child.
Beginning in 2012, Ndlovu’s murder spree targeted her sister Joyce and her five children, followed by her aunt, cousin, uncle, and the father of her child. Her crimes were exposed in 2018 when she was caught on tape attempting to hire an undercover police officer and another individual, posing as hitmen, to burn her sister and her children alive in their home.
Found guilty on all charges, Ndlovu received six life sentences and is currently appealing her convictions. The case stands out as one of South Africa’s most shocking instances of serial murder, underscoring the perils of greed and emphasizing the significance of family bonds.
