‘Death of a Whistleblower’ – South African Thriller – To Premiere On Amazon Prime This February

A new South African political thriller film titled “Death of a Whistleblower” is set to air on Amazon Prime on February 28.

Inspired by the recent stories of real-life South Africa’s whistle-blowers, the film takes a deep dive into the country’s struggle over state capture and the sheer power of principled speech.

The political thriller sees Dlamini in the lead role as Luyanda Masinda, a bold and strong investigative journalist who is unwilling to back down.

Taking to Instagram, Dlamini wrote: “Without getting too sentimental!! This project was so many things that I can’t put into words. It was reaffirming, it was bold, it was right!!

Written by Ian Gabriel and produced by Tshepiso Chikapa Phiri of Known Associates Entertainment, the film premiered at the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles recently.

The South African premiere is set to take place at the Joburg Film Festival on February 28, the same day it debuts on Amazon Prime.

“When Ian shared this film with me in 2018, I was thrilled that we would be creating homage to South African whistle-blowers. Little did I know that one of them would be my uncle, murdered in 2021!” said Phiri.

The film is inspired by stories of real-life South African whistle-blowers. It highlights the challenges and dangers faced by whistle-blowers over the past 25 years.
