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.
