One of the lead actresses, Nomzamo Mbatha, shared her excitement for the Season, hinting that Shaka will be ascending to the throne.

"In season 2, Nandi becomes a Queen Mother when Shaka ascends the Zulu throne, and you know I was always on set even when I am not shooting, just to prepare myself. And having played this character has been an absolute honour, as I have said before, Queen Nandi is one of the biggest women of impact in the history of our country, and I can't wait for people to watch the second season."

DJ Tira accused of stealing song

In a previous report from Briefly News, DJ Tira was accused of stealing the lyrics for his new song Salamalikom. Kwaito musician Sosha claimed that the Afrotainment boss didn't ask for permission to sample lyrics from his 2021 song Ama’Sulumane.

While DJ Tira has not responded to the claims by Sosha, this would not be the first time he has been accused of stealing a song.
