Bonko Khoza and Lunathi Mampofu lead the cast of the new Mzansi Magic crime thriller, Levels

Mzansi Magic has just announced a new high-stakes crime drama, “Levels”, and it’s packing serious heat! Featuring a star-studded cast, the series comes from the creative genius of SAFTA-winning producer and writer Busisiwe Ntintili and her powerhouse production company, The Ntintili Factory. The gripping drama promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats week after week.

Ever wondered what you would do if you suddenly had a billion rands? Would you disappear to an island paradise, settle every debt, or live like royalty? Levels, coming this September on Mzansi Magic, taps into that irresistible fantasy and the dire consequences that follow.

When R1 billion in foreign currency vanishes in a bold heist at a private airport, Crime Intelligence calls in top detective Bongi Nkosi (Lunathi Mpofu – starring on Inimba) to head up the investigation. But her world is shaken when a rising star from head office, Detective Stephen Vilakazi (SAFTA winning actor Bonko Khoza – starring on Ithonga) is sent to be part of the investigation

As Det. Vilakazi starts connecting the dots, Bongi’s professional and personal life begin to unravel. She is not only dealing with a partner who’s watching her every move, but she also has a past that won’t stay buried and a growing attraction that could wreck everything. As the team closes in on suspects, the truth gets harder to hide… and even harder to survive.

“Mzansi Magic is always committed to bold, local storytelling that reflects the complexities of our society. Levels is a fresh take on crime, power and ambition, all wrapped in a gripping storyline that will keep viewers coming back for more,” says Shirley Adonisi, Director of Local Entertainment Channels – M-Net

So, after that intense drama from Shaka Ilembe comes to an end, there’s even more to look forward to…a mix of crime, romance, double-crosses and a billion-rand heist that flips everything upside down. Also starring are Melusi Mbhele (Shaka Ilembe, Isibaya), Sikelelwa Vuyelani (1802: Love Defies Time) and Unathi Mkhize (Ithonga).

Don’t miss the premiere of Levels on Sunday, 07 September at 20:00 only on your home of local, Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161). The con is on!
