POPULAR drama series Shaka iLembe season two is loading.
At this stage, it's not clear when the season will premiere.
On Thursday, 4 September, MultiChoice released a statement confirming that the drama series had been commissioned for a second season.
Season two will pick up the story as Shaka begins his long prophesised reign, writing himself into history.
Speaking on the decision to renew the series, MultiChoice CEO General Entertainment Nomsa Philiso appreciated the support that Shaka iLembe gained.
“MultiChoice is really committed to telling the Shaka Ilembe story, and this season two announcement confirms our intentions to honour the iconic figure of King Shaka with a continuation of his story on air. 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 two to life,” said Nomsa.
