JOHANNESBURG - Showmax is now streaming a chilling true crime docuseries about murder-convicted policewoman Rosemary Ndlovu titled Rosemary's Hitlist.

Cop-turned-killer Rosemary Ndlovu described as warm and charming by Rosemary's Hitlist director

As reported by IOL, Rosemary's Hitlist documentary maker, Valentino Mathibela, said he was curious to dig into Ndlovu's dark motives:

"Because it’s unbelievable. It’s a cop! Killing her family! I wanted to find out why a mother, a daughter and a sister would become perpetrators [sic] while in a position of power to do the opposite and protect her family instead.

"Police are seen as protectors, a role similarly expected from mothers or women as nurturers. A cop is a symbol of protection, of safety, of hope."

Mathibela says he was surprised how quickly Ndlovu changed her imposing demeanour to a warm one in a meeting witg the show's producers:

"When she walks in, everyone's attention goes to her, and then she smiles. I was so intrigued by the psyche of this woman who was able to blindside so many people."

Tweeps do not agree with Mathibela at all. This is how they reacted to the first episode:

@KgomotsoTlhapan is really curious:

"I would really like to understand Rosemary's psyche, to really decipher why she became so cold and evil. She is dangerous and not remorseful. Her anger must stem from somewhere. I can't really blame poverty because she became a police officer and overcame it."
