Coming up on
Smoke & Mirrors on Monday 24 June 2024:
Jerry Phele as Ntate Jerry, a swindler version of himself.
The sort of swindler we've witnessed in the real world entertainment scene. Someone who makes big promises of stardom but who has no intentions of delivering.
As you'll see from his character description, he's full of smoke & mirrors...
When Jerry enters through the doors of Martha’s hotel, he's swarmed by people who immediately recognise him and want to rub shoulders with him.
Little do they know that Jerry is a swindler, and his whole scam is that he claims he’s in Emnayameni to shoot a movie.
Petunia realises that Jerry’s movie could be a hoax as he fails to settle his hotel bills, and so from there, Jerry’s cover risks being blown.
Will he be able to continue with his antics?
