"A beautiful production indeed #ShakaiLembeMzansi."

@Poketams was anticipating:

"I can’t wait for season 2 next year, season one was the long walk to freedom, and Shaka really fought the odds. In season 2, we’re going to hate him, his power will be running to the brain, killing people like flies. Can’t wait to see when he killed people who were not mourning his mom."
