After 14 years, Pietermaritzburg-born screenwriter Rohan Dickson finally got to realise his dream of bringing crime thriller Reyka to television screens. Set mostly amid the tropical coastline and sugar-cane fields of KwaZulu-Natal, the story follows the life of Reyka Gama, a flawed but brilliant female detective who is haunted by her past. The tale begins in 1994, when Reyka, the 11-year-old daughter of African and British parents, is abducted while her mother Elsa, a newspaper photographer, is covering the country’s first democratic elections.
