THE popular cast members of Shaka iLembe are set to engage with fans ahead of its much-anticipated screening.
The hit show about the late iconic Zulu king, Shaka kaSenzangakhona is coming back for season two on Mzansi Magic on 15 June.
KZN people will get a golden chance to meet the stars for three days before the show hits small screens.
From Friday 16 May to Sunday 18 May, the public will be meeting selected stars at Gateway Mall, north of Durban.
King Shaka was the Zulu King who founded the Zulu nation from different autonomous clans and formed one nation under his surname, Zulu. Known by his nickname iLembe, he ruled from 1816 to 1828 in KZN before he was brutally killed by his family.

Now Mzansi Magic has asked their fans to come and represent their clans by dressing in their traditional best. They could win epic prizes on the day.
Mzansi Magic said that the popular cast of Shaka iLembe is set to engage with the audience in Durban at Gateway from 16-18 May.
"KZN, listen up, you are officially invited to join Shaka iLembe for a first-of-its-kind experience.
"Mzansi Magic and DStv are bringing Shaka iLembe to the city- in real life. Get up close and personal with the craftsmanship and the breathtaking outfits that made the show a hit and feast your eyes on an exclusive sneak peek of season two - all while rubbing shoulders with the cast themselves," Mzansi Magic said.
The channel said entrance will be free, but space is limited and fans are asked not to miss out.
Although there were many complaints of misrepresentation of the Zulu culture in season one of the show, many people who didn't know king Shaka's history were happy to watch and learn while others were happy to see their favourite actors including Nomzamo Mbatha, Mondli Makhoba, Dawn Thandeka King, Wiseman Mncube, and many more.
