DEZA is a charming township criminal disguised as an entrepreneur, from not finishing Matric to starting up his own business in the township; Deza has become to many parents the township success story of “Panyaza”

What many people from the township do not know about Deza is that, he is actually living a double life. During the day he is a hard working entrepreneur who owns a fast growing restaurant that most people are fond of, however this is a white wash cover up to the high jacking and drug smuggling mastermind work he does for a big boss known as “BIGMAN”.

Deza enjoys the status he receives from the community and within the crime circles however his deepest outer objective is to grow his restaurant franchise because achieving this goal in his life will mean he can have a restaurant franchise that serves as a perfect nestle for money laundering across an infinite sea of townships in South Africa.

Still he is determined not to lose against Bigman.
