The Royal House of Dingiswayo is not the only royal dynasty to challenge the production of the second season. The other Royal Houses that are the production company over alleged misrepresentation of their heritage are the houses of Nxumalo, Mthethwa, Nxumalo and Mnguni and most notably Zulu which the show is centered around.

The past challenges faced by production on Shaka iLembe The production has faced challenges since the start of the shooting of the first season. This is not the first time that the history told on the show has been challenged. The show does however have a disclaimer that the events that are told on the show are a work of fiction based on real events. This however has not stopped families going forward and challenging the portrayal of the various families and tribes on the show.
