Shaka Ilembe covers the tale of the legendary black leader’s early youth through adulthood and is set in the 1700s. Shaka Zulu, a mythical Zulu ruler who serves as a potent symbol throughout the story, is the inspiration for the name of the drama series.
The main individuals’ lives are intertwined with Shaka’s story to provide an engrossing historical and cultural setting. Shaka’s legacy is felt throughout the region.
The two most important Shaka performers are Ntando Zondi (Prince Shaka) and the immensely gifted Lemogang Tsipa (adult king).

Shaka’s cherished mother, Queen Nandi, is portrayed by Nomzamo Mbatha. Ntando has been in charge as the youthful Shaka, winning over lots of viewers’ hearts. Many believe he is a star with a highly promising future.
Lemogang, a seasoned performer and actor, will now continue in the part. He weighs 68 lbs to portray the younger Shaka and plays both the character’s younger and older iterations. Lemogang had one month to regain the lost weight and reach 76kg.
In order to accomplish this, he had two sausages, six eggs, muesli, yogurt, and fruit for breakfast. 500g of rice and 250g of chicken would make up his meal, and he would consume protein shakes all day.
Lemogang’s casting has drawn criticism because he is half Tswana and half Pedi. According to others, a Zulu actor should have played the part well and he was born in Empangeni, KwaZulu-Natal.
