Land of Mills & Money is a South African telenovela which revolves around a fiercely determined young police officer who finds her world turned upside down after a fateful encounter during a heist leaves her with a secret she must protect at all costs.
The series is set in the heart of Mpumalanga in the fictitious town of Shonalanga, where the land is ploughed for the riches of the very few.
At the heart of Land of Mills & Money is Phiwe (played by Nelisiwe Sibiya), the police officer who struggles to keep the truth of the heist hidden from her family and colleagues.
Township matriarch Mazwi Mhlongo (Winnie Ntshaba) sees an opportunity to use Phiwe's secret to her advantage.
However, deep down in Shonalanga, we also find a love story, a complicated one at that, where Phiwe, because of her decision at the heist, can't be with the man that she truly loves, Muzi Mhlongo (Zamani Mbatha).
Anchored by family dynamics, Land of Mills & Money explores themes of love, lies, justice and redemption.
As Phiwe's carefully guarded secret threatens to unravel, you will be drawn into a world where loyalty is tested, power is contested and every decision carries lasting consequences.
The series also stars Themba Ndaba as Melusi, Jo-anne Reyneke as Thembi, Sphelele Luthuli as Khwezi, Mbali Ngiba as Gog'Sindi, Kenneth Nkosi as Pastor Caiphus and Gcinile Nkosi as Mam'Dee.
