It's a matter of perspective. For our generation, Henry Cele IS Shaka. Period. But for our children and grand-children who may see Shaka iLembe as the first rendition of Shaka on screen, they can be allowed to have a different opinion.
@alphonse-josephdegbahou2906 They can have any opinion they want just like with everything else but I suggest they go back and look at the original and not just with this movie but research the real history alot of these kids watch a few seconds of something and then want to comment and don't really know what they are talking about so like I always say research everything and study the culture it's something that everyone should be doing generation shouldn't matter when I grew up I had to look at and study everything and I'm glad I did salute to you
@@jamaaldavis3222 Well, I just responded to "I don't think anyone can play Shaka like him till this day." I don't really get how your last comment reflects mine. I'm not saying you're wrong. I say that our kids "who haven't seen the first Shaka Zulu mini-series" might say the same thing about the actor who played Shaka in Shaka iLembe.
A Remarkable Actor Henry Cele, I don't think there could be anybody that even comes close to do a re-make of the movie of Shaka Zulu, truly Amazing how Mr. Cele bought this movie to life. R.I.P. THE SARGE
Strong, Confident, his Bone structure!Smh! I will never forget the print he left on me as a little girl.❤ His Charisma, Rulership, drew me.😌 Watching him portray the King of Zulu Kingdom, was everything to me, seeing someone that looked like us. That I could look up to. His voice, his masculinity, strength power of a man. OMG!! Our culture beautifully portrayed by this man and the women of our ancestors, Strong til the end. This film of the Century!👏🏾I only could imagine.😌❤️ Henry Cele, Shaka Zulu, Always❤️👑R.I.P🙏🏾🕊
I remember the time before view-on-demand television when most people had no video recorders and the whole family would be waiting to see their favourite programs, like Shaka Zulu!
I can listen to him speak forever. His voice, the cadences, the accent, the baritone. I would think this is how GOD SOUNDS. Firm but somehow gentle. Conviction void of judgement.
I have watched Shaka Zulu several times since it first aired on TV as a mini series back in 1989. A phenomenal series and Henry Cele will never be replaced as Shaka.

Geniooooo!!!! Henry tu actuación fue simplemente fenomenal!!! Y hoy Xiaoma abre las puertas de África aprendiendo sus lenguas. Por siempre en nuestros corazones Henry!!!
Tell me Faybaaaana. How do you catch a monkey? This is one of my all time favorite movies and that scene… classic!!! Henry Cele was literally perfect in that role
He was Shaka! I loved the movie and each actor was absolutely perfect for the role they were portraying. I think he was one of the most beautiful men god has ever created. His talent is undeniable.
This series should be awarded, its true protagonist, Henry, an Oscar post mortern, enough of the injustices, he was a brilliant actor, and he did not lead the Series, but the other well-to-do ones. You were a great Actor Henry!!
This man's physique was so amazing I would agree without any training of acting or actors that he was the man the only man for this show. It's too bad that at his death he was well mistreated, some people are just sick in the head because he played This magnificent role I guess this gave some person or people the right to mistreat him and bring him down to what they felt he should the level he should disgustingly sad that he had to fight at the end of life for comfort. 😥

They could never remake Shaka Zulu, simply because they could never find anyone else like Henry Cele. He was amazing!
But they did remake Shaka Zulu...
Starring Henry Cele.
They did remake the show
It's called
Shaka ilembe
They already did, and it's better than this one because it's told from an African perspective and not from a British perspective.
@@Luxington1yeah they did, but honestly we only see Henry Cole as Shaka .
@@joytomorrow1933Never dear, that's all trash and inferior. Henry Cele Shaka is the best.❤❤
His skin, bone structure and teeth are mesmerizing 👑😍😍😍😍
Black is beautiful!
Every race is beautiful, some people are just born lucky with beautiful features. 🫶🏽
He did great too I love that mini series I don't think anyone can play Shaka like him till this day 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯
Not one person

Wonderful actor
Phenomical actor. He did the part of shaka great. And that body. Why we didnt see him in any other movies. One hot wonder i guess.
They made a "follow up" movie with him as Shaka again. It was nothing like the first serie!🤨
@@jesperlamprecht201 oh thank you. Im going see if i can down loaded.
Rest in peace Henry! You portrayed the mighty Shaka very well.
Handsome. I've had a crush on shaka for 30 years😂

Rip Henry ceele
He was perfect
Much love from Uganda ❤❤❤❤❤❤i enjoyed this movie
His presence as he portrayed the king was simply powerful. I think if you look up the word Warrior, his picture should be there💪🏽❤️❤️❤️
This Mini-series was the talk of the Break Table all week at work. Not only for the great acting, But the beautiful topless African women.
He was Shaka! I loved the movie and each actor was absolutely perfect for the role they were portraying. I think he was one of the most beautiful men god has ever created. His talent is undeniable.
And sir you did damn thing! Playing Shaka it’s on of my favorite movies right now today, just looked at it a few days ago,and I have the movie.
Série simplesmente incrível, desde a história, actores, trilha sonora, cenários…👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
And the shakas pride has entered you 😂
❤❤ did a wonderful job 👍🏾😊💞 exactly ❤❤
This series should be awarded, its true protagonist, Henry, an Oscar post mortern, enough of the injustices, he was a brilliant actor, and he did not lead the Series, but the other well-to-do ones. You were a great Actor Henry!!
He was amazing
Shaka had to have his soccer season.
Amazing man ❤❤❤
He was amazing as Shaka.
Best cast....you are shaka zulu🙌

What?
How was he mistreated? First hearing of this! A pox on their house!
@@DW69 He sold his luxury home in the posh surburb and moved back to the hood with his siblings cause he developed a heart infection (septic), which cause his death. Maybe he was mistreated, cause he wasn't paid according to the money the Shaka Zulu trilogy made.
Sol Gumede only a few will understand
Adieu brother!
You're greatly missed...
When I first saw Shaka Zulu, this man's physique, dark skin, jawline and voice was something I didn't know existed. That role was for him and I don't think another man could ever do that role like him.
There was ONLY one. Henry. As a blood descendant of Uncle Shaka KaSenzangakhona, I am impressed.
Everyone now imagines Henry Cele when they think of Shaka Zulu, even me.
You're great 👍 I been watching the movie at least 27 years ago 🎉
