Beware is a crime awareness drama that narrates the story of a childless couple enlisting the services of a traditional healer so they could conceive a child.
The wife later claimed to be pregnant before going to the rural areas where she stole a baby to try to save her marriage, but ended up in police custody.
The husband who plays the character Toro later got married to another woman who had given birth before and failed to have a child again before it was later discovered that Toro was the one who was barren.
Kazani, born on November 3 1980, started acting in 1992 while still doing primary education in Harare.
“I started acting when I was in Grade 5, but at first I only wrote for my fellow students to act as I had stage fright,” said Kazani.
