“I’m so excited to be a part of this outstanding international cast of Showtime’s King Shaka by Antoine Fuqua; a dream come true,” Warren, who plays the role of Magazwa, posted.

“God always knows your plans. Yours is to just stay the course. It’s time to elevate and enter level 2 of my acting journey. Can’t wait to play Gendeyana, leader of the Qwabes. Looking forward to working with you and this amazing cast, sir,” said Thapelo. 

“Hopes to dreams realised; one at a time. I can’t wait to work with and learn from this incredible cast; the world’s very best, SA’s very best. Thank you for this opportunity @antoinefuqua @gatelife @olufilms @tolufilms @showtime and the entire CBS family,” posted Thando.

The series, produced by Antoine Fuqua, is based on true events and follows the rise of Zulu empire founder Shaka after uniting tribes in the early 19th century.
