Uncover the dark underbelly of South Africa's contract killing market in this explosive documentary. We reveal the shocking amounts hitmen charge and expose the alleged masterminds behind some of the most expensive hits in the country.

This video delves into the chilling economy where human lives are commodities, and we're pulling back the curtain on how figures like Vusimusi "Cat" Matlala and Katiso Molefe allegedly finance these deadly operations. How much do these businessmen pay to "unalive" their enemies, and what does it cost to orchestrate a hit in South Africa?

A special thank you to General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, the KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, whose courageous revelations have been instrumental in bringing these masterminds to light. His briefings have exposed intricate networks of organized crime and prompted a national conversation about accountability.

Inside the Inkabi Market:

We break down the pricing structure of the hitman market, often referred to as "inkabi" in Zulu. From simple jobs costing as little as R2,000 to complex assassinations reaching hundreds of thousands of rand, we explore the factors that influence the price of a human life.

Entry-Level Hits: Discover how personal grudges and small-scale disputes fuel the lower end of the market, with recruits often drawn from areas with high unemployment and easy access to illegal firearms.

High-Profile Targets: Learn how the cost escalates for targets with bodyguards or those requiring extensive surveillance, with seasoned operators demanding higher payments for their expertise.

The Million-Rand Hits: We examine the most expensive cases, including the murder of rapper Kiernan Forbes (AKA) and Cape Town lawyer Pete Mihalik, revealing the staggering sums paid for these high-profile assassinations.
