Mzansi Magic, the popular South African television channel, has responded to recent allegations of food poisoning on the set of the historical drama series “Shaka iLembe.” The channel confirmed that there was no food poisoning and expressed condolences for the passing of a crew member.
Two crew members reportedly suffered from “flu-like symptoms,” leading to speculation about food poisoning. However, Mzansi Magic clarified that the makeup artist in question had been employed on the set for only a day and a half.
On her second day, she reported feeling weak and was promptly sent to the medic. Her next of kin was contacted, and she tragically passed away three days later at home.

In an official statement, Mzansi Magic expressed its deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased crew member.
The channel emphasized that there was no evidence of food poisoning and that the incident was unrelated to any on-set conditions.
“Mzansi Magic can confirm that there was no food poisoning on the set of Shaka iLembe. The makeup artist in question was employed on the set only for a day and a half. On her second day, she reported feeling weak with flu-like symptoms.
“She was promptly sent to the medic, and her next of kin was contacted to collect her. Regrettably, her condition worsened and she passed away 3-days later at home.
