Shaka iLembe + Panel Discussion: South African Cinema – Past & Present

In the late 18th century in the verdant land of the Nguni Kingdoms of South-east Africa, kings and queens, warriors and witches, spies, slavers, marauders, and traders struggle for power. One visionary leader, King Shaka of Senzangakhona, seizes the Zulu throne, determined to unite them all. Born out of wedlock to Nandi, a beautiful and willful Princess, and the famously handsome Zulu King Senzangakhona, we follow Shaka’s journey from outcast to King.

You will see the first episode and summary teaser of this super popular 2023 South African TV Series that retells the story of the greatest African warriors to ever live, King Shaka, and his quest to fight for his throne.
