    Lerato Mvelase, Wonder Ndlovu, Aiden Scott and Conrad Kemp are the new cast additions to the third season of Shaka iLembe: Zulu King — with a shake-up in the title.

    Königin der nacht: 10 years of Nambitha Ben-Mazwi (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    A decade ago, Nambitha Ben-Mazwi made her TV acting debut in a small role in season two of Traffic, starring Bonnie Mbuli, marking the start of a career shaped by strategy, risk-taking, curiosity, and a commitment to craft.

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Nambitha Ben-Mazwi, the cover star of our Heritage issue, is my spiritual oracle and culture therapist. On a Sunday afternoon, she turns the tables on me; our two-hour telephonic interview becomes a sacred appointment braided with divine wisdom, guiding me through the mist of uncertainty. Four days later, we have an in-person social interaction over high tea at the Birkenstock spring/summer 2026 preview. She’s the host, but she makes time to follow up on our conversation from a few days prior. “
