Shaka iLembe season 2 is being halted by the Kwa-Zulu Natal royal houses

Shaka iLembe season 2 is being halted by the Kwa-Zulu Natal royal houses. Families of tribal leaders featured in the popular show have gone legal in other to prevent Mzansi Magic from airing Season 2. The reason behind the legal actions is that the production company, Bomb Productions reportedly misrepresented facts.

Speaking on the decision to renew the series, MultiChoice CEO General Entertainment Nomsa Philiso was appreciative of the support that the series has gained. “MultiChoice is really committed to telling the SHAKA ILEMBE story, and this season 2 announcement confirms our intentions to honour the iconic figure of King Shaka with a continuation of his story on air.”

She goes on to say, “The fact that viewers across South Africa, and indeed the continent, have been so passionately supportive of the show, tuning in to watch weekly, sharing their commentary online, and really engaging with this layered story of the Nguni Kingdoms, has been fantastic. We are now looking forward to bringing season 2 to life.
