Mzansi has criticized the explicit scenes featured in the trailer for the upcoming series “Shaka Ilembe.”
One of our favorite things here in South Africa is our soapies. Mzansi, just like every other country, has fallen deeply in love with the television series that keep us company and basically become part of our households and lives.
Well, fans are excited about a new one coming. You might see it is one of the most anticipated series this year. Titled “Shaka Ilembe,” it features popular actors Nomzamo Mbatha, Lemogang Tsipa, and Wiseman Ncube, among others. We hear the storyline is very entertaining.
A new trailer was released for the series, and Mzansi has lots to say about it. Fans blasted the explicit scenes on it. Some claim that the scenes usually add nothing to the story and can be a bit of an eyesore. They took to Twitter to complain about it.
Shaka iLembe will premiere on @Mzansimagic (DStv 161) on the 18th of June 20:00 Sunday
The cast is led by Nomzamo Mbatha as Queen Nandi, Shaka's mother, with Ntando Zondi as young Shaka & Lemongang Tsipa as adult King Skaka Zulu#Shakailembepic.twitter.com/xM45MnLvBy
