Controversy has again hit the production of the second season of Mzansi Magic epic historical Shaka iLembe. This time, the production was marred with reports that two people died after an alleged incident of food poisoning on set.
“Mzansi Magic can confirm that there was no food poisoning on the set of Shaka iLembe,” the channel said.
“The make-up artist in question was employed on set for only one and a half days. On her second day, she reported feeling weak and flu-like symptoms. She was promptly sent to see the medic, and her next of kin was contacted to collect her.”
