This week’s Spotlight takes a closer look at a spanking-new TV crime comedy-drama offering, as well as the latest movie and documentary series streaming locally.

 

PROOF OF PAYMENT – STREAMING ON eVOD

Proof of Payment — starring Thabo Malema, Mandla Gaduka and Sibonginkosi Tenza — lets you in on a thrilling game of cat and mouse. Notorious con artist Lefa falls head over heels for Lebo. It is, however, just a clever game and a test to find out who is most skilled in the art of deception. Don’t miss Spotlight’s interviews with some of the cast members, in which they provide their take on this suspenseful drama.

 

WILD CARDS – DStv CHANNEL 117

Wild Cards is a brand-new Universal TV crime comedy-drama series featuring Vanessa Morgan and Giacomo Gianniotti. The latter stars as Cole Ellis, a water cop demoted from the rank of police detective, while the former plays Max Mitchell, a woman con artist. Unlikely events bring the two together, and they then seek to redeem themselves by working as a team to solve crimes. This is a fun, escapist series.

Honouring the milestones of these leading women as the first females in their respective fields, the series features groundbreaking success stories from across the continent in science, aviation, winemaking, the arts, and many more occupations.
