The day that many had been waiting for came yesterday as Shaka iLembe aired its first episode on Mzansi Magic at 20:00. The show which stars heavyweight actors such as Wiseman Mncube, Nomzamo Mbatha, Dawn Thandeka King, and many more, left viewers wanting more, with many wishing for the second episode already.

Wiseman Mncube became a trending topic on his portrayal of the role of King Zwide ka Langa, a cruel king to both his people and enemies. Many social networks users complimented the Uzalo actor who has had fans eating out of his palm on all the roles that he has portrayed. Compliments also went to the Bomb Production for the amazing work they’ve done and choosing the perfect cast for each role.

Viewers on social networks commented:

“Impressive 1st episode. Wiseman Ncube did his homework. He is nailing this Zwide ka Ndwandwe character. I’m looking forward to his battle with Ndingiswayo ka Mthethwa. The most historical battle of Ndwandes and Mthethwazi. The two most powerful clans at that time.”
