The highly anticipated series follows the life of Shaka Zulu and how his reign as Zulu King was challenged.
Nomzamo Mbatha directs and plays Queen Nandi, the revered mother of Shaka, in the series. Other noticeable faces include Thembinkosi Mthembu starring as King Dingiswayo, and Wiseman Mncube in the role of King Zwide. Playing the young and old Shaka are Lemogang Tsipa (adult king) and Ntando Zondi (boy king). Dawn Thandeka King will play the role of Shaka Zulu’s aunt Mkabayi kaJama.
Now, Khabonina Qubeka has joined the cast as the witch known for helping King Zwide, Queen Ntombazi.
Dubbed a wizard by some, and a double-edged sword by others. Queen Ntombazi, played by @Khabonina_Q, is both mighty and fearless - a lethal combination if you ask us!🔥#ShakailembeMzansi premieres 18 June at 20:00 on @MzansiMagic (Ch 161). pic.twitter.com/KfOP8iuKgZ
