I don’t know about you guys but this character here and the actor’s delivery actually overshadows whatever the story about Shaka on this show is about. Quite impressive how his screen time actually demands attention while leaving you feel you are robbed #ShakaiLembeMzansi pic.twitter.com/DVvUiOUaTe
