It’s a story with depth, exploring our heritage, customs, vernacular and current life challenges in an unprecedented, highly entertaining way.”

Inkaba has set a platform for conversation on social media networks and continues to encourage discussion about the current trends.
Given Inkaba’s relevant characters such as Pascal (Richard Lukunku) and Fumi (Weza Solange), the show’s pan African appeal thus result in the audience demand, especially in Angola and Nigeria.
