Alongside their daily duties at their cosmetics brand, there is a shady business dealing that really keeps the company afloat: the manufacturing and distribution of skin bleaching products. Unbeknownst to their loyal customers (and to the South African government), Bhengu Beauty’s true corporate agenda isn’t actually all that noble.
For years, the cosmetics conglomerate has been supplying South Africa with beauty products aimed at celebrating beauty in all of its shades - to everyone’s knowledge, at least. Here, founder and CEO Don Bhengu (Dumisani Mbebe) and his minions family plot and scheme the next big steps for their company, Bhengu Beauty. Savage Beauty’s fast-paced plot takes place in the lively city of Johannesburg, where the exorbitantly wealthy Bhengu family lives lavishly in their sprawling private estate.
