About Under Cover
A hard-working police sergeant is tasked with an under-cover assignment where he must pose as a mysterious assassin known as "Jakalasi". His mission is to execute a hit on the local police captain. But it's a dangerous game the young cop is playing, and with the mob boss' right-hand man suspicious of the new arrival, it's only a matter of time before his cover is blown.
Directed by Tony Cunningham, Under Cover leans on a strong ensemble — Roy Dlamini, Pepsi Mabizela, Emmanuel Shangase — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1980.
