Jerusalema Page #7

Synopsis: Starting off with simple smash and grabs, and petty crime, Lucky Kunene quickly graduates to more aggressive heists such as armed robbery and carjacking. Soon, Lucky realizes he needs a bigger score to fulfill his goals of making it big, and escaping from the slums, to a dream house by the sea. Kunene hatches an elaborate and violent plan to make his fortune - hijacking buildings from landlords of Johannesburg tenements by winning the favor of the tenants and then holding their rent hostage from the landowners. His high-profile real estate acquisitions attract the attention of the local police force who have no qualms about using unprovoked brutality to bring him down. His trouble with the law, coupled with an escalating war between a local drug lord, creates a tense standoff: both sides are closing in, and Kunene must stay one step ahead--or his empire, and his life, will come crashing down.

Yeah yeah, of course.

Sure, ma'am. Yeah sure.

If anything happens

to him, darkie...

F***ed up cops. Sh*t!

We were supposed to be informed

immediately if he had to be moved.

I'll have to look into what went wrong.

- Who's on guard duty?

- Sibiya.

Well, where is he?

They say behind

every fortune is a crime.

The greater the fortune,

the greater the crime.

But I don't know about that.

It seems the only people

who say that

probably never made one.

What's important in life

is to set goals

and go after them.

Who knows?

I might even talk Leah

into moving to the coast

after I've moved

into a building,

or six.

After every revolution

comes a new order.

But before that

comes opportunity.

After all,

wasn't it PW Botha who said,

"Adapt or die"?
