Season 1


Queendom is a South African telenovela which revolves around Ntandokayise Mthombeni, a maverick community leader in Tsakane who discovers that she is the rightful heir to the throne of the Khahlamba Kingdom.

She must overcome the ruthless and immoral Prince Mcebo in a life-threatening battle to fulfil her destiny as Queen.

The daily drama celebrates the strength, resilience and power of women who shape their own destinies.

Rooted in destiny and centred around the life of Nthandokayise (played by Linda Mtoba), the story presents a world in which women rise, flip patriarchy on its head and reign.

Queendom explores themes of cultural heritage, tradition, fate, ancestry, power struggles, identity and survival.

Ntando - a resilient and street-smart law student - battles financial hardships while juggling multiple jobs to support her mother, step-father and loving boyfriend in Tsakane.

Unbeknownst to her, she is the long-lost heir to the throne of the Khahlamba Kingdom.

Her mother, Tholakele Mthombeni (Sindi Dlathu), had kept this a secret, having fled for her life from the Khahlamba Kingdom over 30 years ago.

Hurt that he is not next in line, Prince Mcebo (Pallance Dladla) is set to destroy the kingdom through his greed and corruption.

Will Ntando awaken to the significance of saving her people and the sacred life-sustaining spring water at the heart of the Khahlamba Kingdom?

Welcome to Queendom, where two worlds collide and destiny will find you.

The cast includes Hamilton Dlamini as King Banzi Khahlamba, Mduduzi Mabaso as Prince Andile Khahlamba, Pallance Dladla as Prince Mcebo Khahlamba, Dawn Thandeka King as Queen MaNdlovu and Lehasa Moloi as Prince Molapho.

Musician and actor Jabulani "Sjava" Hadebe plays Prince Mkhuseli Khahlamba, the first born son of King Banzi. He also wrote the title track of Queendom, entitled Wena Wamanzi.

Also starring are Slindile Nodangala, Nhlanhla Kunene, Patrick Mofokeng, Themba Ndaba, Mike Mvelase, Sibulele Gcilitshana and Samkelo Ndlovu.
