Shaka Ilembe visits Gateway fans

In a previous report from Briefly News, Shaka Ilembe cast members had a meet and greet with fans at the Gateway Mall in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal.

The activation event was a huge success, as viewers were given the opportunity to mingle with the cast of the series. Nomzamo Mbatha spoke about what viewers can expect:

"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."
