The Production the Much Anticipated Drama Queen Modjadji Commences. It’s quite heartwarming to watch content that teaches us about our rich history. A case in point is the hit Shaka iLembe, which has not only entertained the viewers, but has also educated many about our beautiful past.

Another interesting show based on history is in the works. Queen Modjadji, which is Mzansi Magic’s new Sunday night prime-time drama Queen Modjadji has commenced. This epic story is inspired by the world-famous Balobedu legendary rainmaker, the first Queen Modjadji, whose bloodline has ruled Southern Africa’s Lobedu clan for centuries.

Born to the throne and blessed with an elemental ancestral gift, her reign gave rise to a succession of hereditary Queens. Her story is the story of a matriarchal dynasty, whose ability to transform the clouds and summon the rain has earned the Balobedu royalty a place among the most revered of African dynasties. 

Produced for MultiChoice by Rhythm World Productions, work on Queen Modjadji is already well underway and the team behind the title has been researching and consulting with key stakeholders, tribal leaders, and academic experts. Scripting and casting for the series is nearing completion and filming will soon start.

Leading the production is renowned poet, playwright, and producer Duma Ndlovu whose vision is to craft a series that offers viewers an opportunity to engage with the Lobedu culture and traditions. He and the team also want the drama to be very entertaining.
