SEE TRAILER FOR NEW SHAKA ILEMBE EPIC HISTORICAL TV SERIES ON THE ICONIC 18TH CENTURY AFRICAN KING!

  SHAKA ILEMBE SERIES 

ON THE ICONIC AFRICAN KING

Shaka Ilembe starts this month

Although Showtime has cancelled their Shaka Zulu series after it was already shot and ready for airing, we are still getting another historical series on the iconic African king but directly from the continent: African Multi Choice Group has released a trailer for their own twelve part saga SHAKA ILEMBE which follows the original story of the legendary African monarch and military strategist, King Shaka, from childhood to adulthood through the 1700s, with Lemogang Tsipa in the lead role of Shaka and Nomzamo Mbatha as queen Nandi. 

 

SIX YEARS IN THE MAKING 

 Hailed as Multi Choice's biggest ever prime time series it features much of the country’s wildlife and scenery, including the mountains, savanna, and coastline of of KwaZulu Natal, home to the majority of South Africa’s Zulu people. The production has been six years in the making, consulting historians, academics, and family descendants, including the incumbent King Misuzulu ka Zwelithini, Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, as well as the late King Goodwill Zwelithini. The show should launch June 18th down on Mzansi Magic in Africa. Check out the trailer below, but be warned: there are a lot of naked female boobs in the series and muscly male pelvises, so watch at your own discretion. The series looks quite stylized visually even though the extremely muscly and toned hunks in the cast look too modern for this kind of genre, but we are not really complaining as they offer a stunning site for sore eyes!
