The highly-anticipated Game of Thrones-style series based on Shaka’s life, Shaka Illembe, is currently in production, with reports linking the star to the lead role as the Zulu king.

However, Muzi has revealed to TshisaLIVE that was not the reason why he is leaving Isibaya.

“There is absolutely no truth that I am going to play Shaka Zulu, as far as I know, the Producers haven’t cast for the show. We have never talked about me playing Shaka. Nothing is confirmed and I don’t have any offers.”Said Mthabela.

Duma also added that he believes the story of Shaka should be told and said it would be the highlight of his career to play the king.

“It is very important to play historical figures because sometimes we need to separate facts from fiction, even though movies are primarily fiction and facts are dramatised in a new way. There have been a lot of facts, fiction and myth surrounding Shaka Zulu, and a lot has not been said yet.”

When he was asked about his exit from Isibaya, Muzi said he was undecisive to leave Duma behind but the “timing felt right” for him to grow.

“I never really wanted to leave the show but a good opportunity came in the form of another show to play the lead, a very good character. It is a very good move for me as an artist. It is important to be able to do other shows so you can grow,” he explained.
