From a carefree Langiwe and a secretive Thandiwe to a frank Queen Chawezi, meet the characters who make Ubuntu a hit.

Langiwe (played by Viola Babda)

She's a multi-layered character in touch with her spiritual side. Langiwe is Queen Chawezi’s sister and the sworn protector of the Ubuntu throne. Her connection to the spiritual realm makes her an easy target of manipulation.

Thandiwena (played by Daisy Hanamwanza)

Having lived with a damning secret, self-sourced strength and courage are her only refuge. She is named heir to the Ubuntu throne by her dying father, Chief Mukango.

Queen Chawezi (played by Lisa Njovu)

The queen is Thandiwena’s mother. She is politically savvy and goes against all odds to fight off her daughter's enemies.

Betrayal, bloodshed, and identity versus power are the themes of this exhilarating drama.
