The Plot of the Silverton Siege
While on a high-profile mission to sabotage a petrol depot, a trio of Umkhonto weSizwe liberation fighters discovers they have been set up and are being pursued by police.
They are pursued viciously and dangerously, and they seek sanctuary inside a bank.
The Trio is unanimous in their conviction that someone, possibly one of them, is an “Impimpi” — a con artist and police informant.
Who is the subject of the inquiry? The bank is under increasing strain, and tensions are rising. Every participant is fighting for the same thing: liberty.
As the Trio comes to terms with the fact that their only options are prison or death, they decide to negotiate Nelson Mandela’s release.
Is Silverton Siege Based on a True Story?
Netflix has acquired “Silverton Siege,” an action thriller based on genuine events from the Free Mandela movement.
The film is directed by Mandla Dube (“Kalushi: The Story of Solomon Mahlangu”) and stars Thabo Rametsi, Noxolo Dlamini, and Stefan Erasmus.
Rametsi, Dlamini, and Erasmus form the Silverton Siege trio, three rebellious youths with little to lose in 1980. The trio ends up in a South African bank in Silverton, Pretoria, following a high-speed automobile pursuit with the police in the aftermath of a failed sabotage effort. When a bank and its customers are taken hostage and Nelson Mandela’s release is demanded in exchange for the prisoners’ release, the stakes and emotions are extraordinarily high.
The film features some well-known South African heavyweights, including Arnold Vosloo and Tumisho Masha. Pambili Media is led by executive producers Walter Ayres and Dube throughout production.
Dube has also worked as a cinematographer on various films, shorts, and Netflix episodes, including “Jiva!” (2021). “Kalushi” was nominated for a South African Film and Television Award for best director.
