12 June 2025. Gaborone, Botswana. MultiChoice Botswana in partnership with the National Arts Council of Botswana (NACB), proudly hosted an exclusive pre-screening of the highly anticipated Shaka iLembe Season 2 at New Capitol Cinemas, bringing together media, creative industry professionals and cultural custodians for an unforgettable evening of African storytelling.

The event marked a significant celebration of premium African content, as invited guests were treated to a preview of the epic continuation of the series that captivated audiences across the continent when it first launched Season 1 in 2023. The screening not only showcased the power of locally resonant storytelling but also reaffirmed MultiChoice Botswana’s commitment to partnering with local entities to elevate African stories and talent.

“Shaka iLembe is more than a television series; it’s a reclamation of African history through a cinematic lens. At MultiChoice Botswana, we are proud to bring our audiences stories that are not only beautifully produced but deeply rooted in our continent’s legacy,” said MultiChoice Botswana Managing Director, Stephanie Pillay. “This story of power, resilience and identity resonates with Botswana’s own narrative and reminds us of the importance of preserving and celebrating who we are, through the art of storytelling.” The event also served as a platform to spark dialogue around future collaboration between MultiChoice Botswana and NACB which seeks to drive a pivotal convergence between access, exposure and creativity.
