The actress told TshisaLIVE in a statement:

I am honoured to bring the giant that is Queen Nandi to life. History will remember those who informed its people of where we come from, to better understand who we are. I am fortunate to be part of a project that is much bigger than ourselves and to tell this story in our own language. Impi iyeza! expressed Mbatha.

TWEEPS REACT TO SHAKA ILEMBE' TRAILER @Barffoon:

I'm not feeling it. It just doesn't have that thing. I was really expecting to be blown into a thousand pieces. So disappointed. This Feels like another Isibaya. so lame. I guess I'll have to wait for the American version.

@InnocentWithan2:

Nice. But they can at least keep the nudity to a minimum We watch most of these shows as a family And I believe this story is told with the sole purpose of educating our people about Shaka's story but it's hard to have to let children watch this story when they are f**king.

Why the explicit sex scene though
