Griekwastad (2020)
Arnold Vosloo (Bosch, 24, The Mummy) and rising teen star Alex van Dyk (Die Stropers) lead the cast in Griekwastad, which recounts one detective’s investigation into the horrific 2012 murder of Deon and Christel Steenkamp and their teenage daughter, Marthella, on their farm Naauwhoek.
Written and directed respectively by SAFTA winners Tertius Kapp (Rage, 4 Mure) and Jozua Malherbe (Slot, Wolwedans in die Skemer), the chilling film is based on Jacques Steenkamp’s best-selling true crime novel The Griekwastad Murders: The Crime that Shook South Africa.
The all-star cast includes Trackers stars Sisanda Henna and Rolanda Marais (Poppie Nongena, Trackers, Wolwedans in die Skemer), SAFTA winners Deon Lotz (Skoonheid), Crystal-Donna Roberts (Arendsvlei, Krotoa) and Jody Abrahams (Die Byl, Hard Copy), and rising star Jane De Wet (The Girl from St. Agnes).
