Iph'ithule

For the past 15 years of his incarceration, Nkosilathi Mathuthu has been haunted by the silent screams and visions of a woman he has never met. Each time she is hurt, he feels the same pain, despite being behind the thick walls of a maximum security prison. 

 

He is soon released and discovers that the mysterious woman, Iph'ithule Nyathi, is a drawcard at a discreet gentlemen's club owned by the one person he hates the most - his politically connected mother, Sonia.

 

Despite being a free man, the government still has clutches on Nkosilathi. While behind bars, he would be sneaked out for espionage, covert operations and military training by the government that went on to use him as a hitman against their political enemies scattered across the globe. He had the perfect cover - the world believed he was behind bars.

 

Now, they have one final assignment for him. He has to kill a rising opposition leader a month before the national elections. Nkosilathi has one problem with the assignment - he does not kill women, especially not a woman who is the only hope for the country that has fallen into disrepair at the hands of corrupt dinosaur gatekeepers clinging desperately to power. 

 

Now, he has to choose between the love of his life, Iph'ithule Nyathi, who is still in the clutches of Sonia and her politician friends, and waging a war against the state, using the skills they taught him during relentless training as their killing machine. In the midst of it all, a highly motivated intelligence officer is working round the clock to unmask the assassin responsible for the trail of bodies that have one common link - politics.
