Show Synopsis
According to etv:
“Smoke & Mirrors is set in the landscape of a small mining town called Emnyameni. Here, we come to learn that the story lives up to its name- nothing and no one is truly as they seem. Introducing the character of Thandiswa, a hairdresser by day, an escort by night, and a girl on a mission to rid the town of “The Unholy Trinity”, the group of morally corrupt men who run Emnyameni.
Currently, the show is keeping viewers intrigued as it unravels the person who shot Mayor Jaxon weeks ago. Thandiswa shot Jaxon, a corrupt official, in revenge for a dead loved one.
