Email Neo Moloto
FLAW: Vindictiveness, an inability to forgive, controlling
WANTS: Power, revenge, success. She wants to crush Vic and to control her son, her lover, her team and her employees. She wants to show the world that she can succeed in the world of men
NEEDS: To learn to forgive, to make peace with herself, to let go of some of the reigns, to allow her maternal feelings to manifest in love, rather than in control
Neo Moloto is the owner of the Black Dragons, a soccer club that plays in the Super League.
Neo is a self-made woman who learned the soccer trade through Vic in the early days of the Black Dragons when she worked as his secretary and became emotionally involved with him. Neo and Vic had an on/off affair in the early days of the club, but Vic went off with another woman whom he married. Shortly after his marriage, Vic suffered an injury on the soccer field which ended his playing career. He suspected the injury was inflicted at Neo's bidding. Neo, meanwhile, traumatised by Vic's rejection of her, fled to her hometown, discovering later that she was pregnant by Vic. She never disclosed to anyone the identity of her son's father.
Neo's son Zakes became her reason for living and she was determined to give her son all the advantages in life that she had never enjoyed. Neo also became obsessed with exacting her revenge on Vic, whose soccer club, the Shooting Stars, was flourishing. Neo made it to the big time and managed to buy a soccer club with the sole purpose of competing with Vic and beating him at his own game. She is a ruthless and successful businesswoman bent on achieving glory for her own club, and at the same time, destroying the club of her ex-lover whom she has never forgiven.
Neo came from a poverty stricken background. She and her mother were abandoned by her father when Neo was a child. Her mother's subsequent boyfriends were abusive and none stuck around for long. This background has made Neo highly suspicious of men. Vic's rejection of her only compounded her mistrust. Fearing the sort of 'doormat' life her mother led, Neo only becomes involved with men whom she can control (like Lucky, an unscrupulous agent), men who are impressed by her wealth and position of power - which she never relinquishes. She has to be dominant in all her dealings with men: her lovers, her team members, her employees and also her beloved son. While she adores Zakes, she likes to be in control of all aspects of his life. Because Zakes seldom angers her, their relationship, on the surface, is good.
While Neo feels the need to dominate and manipulate, she does have sincere maternal instincts. She will do anything for her son and she regards her team as her family. In her eyes, she is the benevolent matriarch, only interested in what is best for her 'extended family'- the Black Dragons.
In fact, she is a manipulative control freak, and if one of her players betrays her, or has passed his sell-by date, she can dispose of him mercilessly. She is also willing to 'eliminate' all other obstacles in her path.
