It is often said that art imitates life and the phrase could not be truer for Mzansi Magic’s new drama series mirroring the plight of human trafficking victims in SA.
With two Eastern Cape actors Masasa Mbangeni and Dumisani Mbebe leading the cast,
Mzali Wam premiered to critical acclaim on Monday night.
Port Elizabeth’s Mbangeni plays Joyce Khaphayi, a woman whose child (Ntokozo) is stolen from her after birth, only to later cross each other’s paths when the presence of a human trafficking syndicate shocks the community.
