Savage Beauty is a South African drama series that was released on 12 May 2022 on Netflix.[1] The series was written by Lebogang Mogashoa. The series is about the mystery woman who enmeshes herself in a strong family that controls a global beauty empire and is hiding some dark secrets in order to exact retribution for her tragic past.[2][3]
Plot[edit]
Savage Beauty revolves around Bhengu Beauty (the global beauty empire) and Zinhle (the face of the brand) who has come to avenge the Bhengu family.[4] The public is unaware that Don and Grace Bhengu's lucrative beauty business was founded on the immoral practice of testing a skin-lightening product on children. That is, until one of the two survivors, Zinhle Manzini, arrives 15 years later to reveal them and reduce their dominion to ashes.[5]
