The original true-crime documentary series about cop-turned-serial killer Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu is set to premiere on Showmax next month.
To refresh your memory: 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 totaling over R400 000 - and Ndlovu was the beneficiary of all of them.
But 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, insurance policies on their lives amounted to over R1.4 million.

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.
It premieres first on Showmax on 14 June with new episodes on Thursdays.
Ndlovu is back in court this year on new charges; in February 2023 she and her co-accused, another ex-cop, Nomsa Mudau, pled not guilty to charges of conspiring to murder Mudau’s ex-husband, Justice.
