Mzansi Magic’s first telenovela boasts cast of local acting heavyweights
Mzansi Magic’s first homegrown telenovela, Inkaba, which will hit South African screens in March, will feature big name South African actors.
The channel previously announced that thespian John Kani will act as producer and play one of the lead characters. Mzansi Magic has now confirmed that the cross-generational cast also includes internationally and locally acclaimed screen and stage veterans Nakedi Ribane and Ernest Ndlovu. These actors, as well as relative newcomer, Nompilo Gwala, feature in the first leg of a massive marketing campaign, launching soon on Mzansi Magic and other channels on DStv.
Lebone Maema, channel head for Mzansi Magic, says Inkaba is the biggest production the channel has undertaken to date. “The authentic South African storyline, meaty characters and great scripts have secured the participation of some of the biggest names in the industry – both on-screen and behind the scenes. We are immensely excited about Inkaba – it has all the ingredients to ensure that pay-television viewers make a regular date with Mzansi Magic.”
The names of the rest of the cast, which include more heavyweight stars as well as some new faces, will be revealed in due course.
Inkaba will launch on Monday, 19 March and will be broadcast Mondays to Thursdays at 20:30, only on Mzansi Magic.
