Massive shout out to Wiseman Ncube, my home boy. Seeing him flourish like this gives me goosebumps. This is the same guy that came back to our high school to motivate us as Dramatic arts learners and helped us improve our grades after he graduated at DUT. The guy has paid his dues and now reaping his rewards.

[@amandamncube8273]

It's Mncube not Ncube and please don't be offended it just that a lot of people get the spelling wrong and I'm not sure why. I believe in putting some respect in people's names and surnames.

Thembinkosi is such a humble guy, his story is similar to my story.

[@lusandanombona454]

Love Thembinkosi yhoooo

[@SharonLethoko]

I just came here to say Thembinkosi is such a GORGEOUS man.🥺

[@masilomoshesh1475]

Ghost lady was asking a valid question. She was making the point that it is possible that some of the actors may not have realised how wide of a range the other individual had during production. There is a noticeable difference in the quality of writing and acting between an everyday soapie and a 10 episode series with an ensemble cast and a massive budget. It's obvious people were there to showcase their talents in acting.

[@cece_pride]

And the guys shut her off i ddnt like dat

[@shaunmpondwana9468]

They didn't get the question and as Sol said they don't have an answer, and as they also said they didn't know how to explain the spirit. But I do think that the spirits were showing since they want the story to be told properly by acting into those individuals that were chosen to act the story. So if those spirit were angry didn't like what was happening, the acting was not going to be that dope, people were going to get seek, it was just going to be a distraction...

[@mastermind8332]

But at the end Sol asked the similar question, and everyone got to understand what was her question? Also She got the answer.....

[@mbokisengthusi]

Yeah true that that question was very valid cause I also understood what she was saying maybe they got lost when she made a example

[@nomawethugama8822]

That Baleka and Dingiswayo chemistry was toooo insane

[@XoliN]

Just hearing Mac dissect some of these guys’ scenes makes me realize how brilliant they are 🙌🏽❤️

After what Thembinkosi and Wiseman said about the taken over by spirit,it's really tell that African spirit is too much 😭😭😭 African spirit will never die 😭

[@kevinandilemediahouse]

[@misskaykayRSA]

It’s good that they came as a pair coz Thembinkosi seems like a shy person and generally quiet. And he’s more comfortable with speaking Zulu, he wouldn’t have been as open if he came alone coz MacG and Sol mostly speak English and have big personalities. He would’ve been overwhelmed. Good interview though ❤… I love Wiseman’s voice actually …. So manly 🥰😊😍

[@fundizulu5834]

Ndwandwe clan in the chat! I knew about the history of most of the major clans already and I’m so happy man, all of the stories are so well told, extremely accurate. As a member of the Ndwandwe clan, shout to Wiseman for portraying or king the way he was. Superstar. Dingiswayo’s character was always overshadowed by Shaka’s story, and that’s cool, but Dingiswayo was a damn figure in the Zulu history so big shout out to Thembinkosi for playing it well.

[@redninjalangayoutube2099]

True hey we learned I'm Sotho married to Zulu but I didn't understand when they say they are not Zulu but hlubi until I watched this series..they took time to portray all this kings that's y Nguni nation is so big...

I think what Ghosty was trying to say was that the actors were able to unlock skills that they did not know they had, their acting went to another level... They might be thinking that it's the 'spirit' whereas is them excelling in their craft.

[@idrismckenzie4155]
