In the story about the making of the iconic Zulu king, Shaka iLembe, Prince Ndabezimbi, portrayed by the charismatic actor Ntando Mncube, has become a household favourite.

Like Senzangakhona kaJama, the prince of Mazimeleni is after the sun of eLangeni's heart, Nandi kaBhebhe, played by Nomzamo Mbatha. From the moment Ndabezimbi is introduced, we are left in stitches.

Continue reading to relive his antics so far, that left us roaring with laughter.

In episode one, to draw Nandi’s attention during umcimbi, the jokester breaks into a traditional dance and lifts his ibheshu, flashing his bare butt at an unimpressed Nandi kaBhebhe. 😂

In episode two, trying hard to dishearten Ndabezimbi from pursuing her, Nandi meets up with him and reveals that she is no longer a virgin. Not bothered by this confession, Ndabezimbi confesses that he's also not a virgin, and nothing she says will put him off wanting to marry her. 😂 😂

Here’s a hot fact: Ntando Mncube and Wiseman Mncube who plays Zwide in the show are blood brothers in real life.

We look forward to seeing more of the prince.
