Meanwhile, The Plum List called it “a beautifully crafted story of raging kingdoms, power-hungry kings and their deceptive kin.”
Viewers have already taken to Twitter to show their appreciation for the show:
Mmamitse Thibedi, Director from production house Stained Glass said “We’ve worked hard to create an intricate, intriguing plot that highlights the adverse effect of multiple twisted agendas and manipulation of power from the kings themselves and also from characters such as the king’s wives – who have their own selfish ambitions.” Co-owners of the production company are Gugulethu Zuma-Ncube and Kobedi "Pepsi" Pokane who
have been building a reputation for amazing work on and off the screen in various productions.
Fantastic production value, exceptional costume design and a storyline that weaves together a myriad of complex elements in Ifalakhe will have viewers completely enthralled! They will quickly be drawn into the world that the creators of the show have so effortlessly brought to life.
