The Blessing of Queen

The Blessing of Queen tells the touching story of MBALI MTHETHWA. At just 16 years of age, she is taken from her grandmother’s home and forced to succumb to the repugnant desires of men. 

​

MBALI draws on her inner strength to do what she must to survive, until the perfect opportunity to escape presents itself. Captivated by her innocence and resilience, a powerful politician aims to possess her. Entering the lifestyle of a ‘blessed’ woman, MBALI reinvents herself as ‘QUEEN’.

​

Some years later, a now beautiful and desirable QUEEN discovers that although her freedom is embellished with material wealth, it is her liberator who now threatens her very existence.

​

Just as QUEEN begins to experience honest love for the first time, she finds herself at a critical crossroad facing potentially deadly consequences.
