Rosemary's Hitlist
Rosemary’s Hitlist is a Showmax Original four-part true-crime documentary series about cop-turned-serial-killer Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu.
On 12 October 2015, Ndlovu’s live-in lover, Yingwani Maurice Mabasa, the father of her only living child at the time, went missing. Three days later, his body was found in Olifantsfontein - with 76 stab wounds. Mabasa had 16 policies in his name, totalling over R400 000 - and Ndlovu was the beneficiary of all of them …
These weren’t the first payouts from suspicious deaths to Ndlovu. She was eventually sentenced in 2021 to six concurrent life terms for the murders of not only Mabasa but also five of her family members: her sister, two nephews, a niece and a cousin. Together, their killsurance was worth over R1.4 million to Ndlovu.
Rosemary’s Hitlist is produced by IdeaCandy, the company behind the SAFTA-winning true-crime sensation Devilsdorp, and directed by Valen’tino Mathibela (the first season of The Real Housewives of Durban, Lebo M - Coming Home), with SAFTA winner Richard Gregory (Steinheist) as a consulting director.
