The Last Witch of Sandton
From village poverty to Sandton’s elite — a gripping tale of ambition, murder, and the price of power in modern South Africa.
Nomvula Magwaza arrived in Johannesburg in 1994 with sixty rand and an unquenchable hunger. From washing hair for fifty rand a day to wearing Chanel in Houghton’s estates, she becomes the woman every man desires.
Three marriages. Three distinguished men. Three untimely deaths. Each wealthy. Each died within two years. Each leaves Nomvula richer. Armed with her grandmother’s traditional medicines and ruthless ambition, Nomvula climbs Johannesburg’s social ladder with deadly precision. But Detective Lerumo is onto her, and Adelaide will stop at nothing to avenge a loved one.
