Have you ever sat on your couch, watching Zambezi Magic, and thought: “I would totally be that character!”
Well, you are not alone! Viewers across Zambia and beyond are stepping into the shoes (and drama) of their favourite on-screen personalities – and trust us, the responses are as spicy as a Mpali plot twist!
Malita has a fan club of her own! Whether it's her infamous gossip or bold personality, fans can’t get enough. “Malita is me in real life,” says Mapalo Mutale, while Favoured Temwa declares, “At home they call me a Mulomonist!” We’re not sure if that’s a compliment or a warning, but we love the energy!
Lindiwe is leading the pack – the drama queen of Mpali, the master of English, and the queen of clapbacks. Fans like Tamara Mwanza and Cathryn Phiri want to embody her fearless nature and wardrobe. Mimile Mbewe agrees, “Her dressing is always on point!” Honestly, where does she shop?
Shupiwe? Oh, she's not just a character, she's a lifestyle! From the drama to the sass, fans like Jane S Lungu, Grace Mwewa, and even top fan Rebecca Sapanoi Chisenga say there’s never a dull moment with her around. “She really makes my day,” one fan confessed.
Meanwhile, Frank from Mpali is pulling heartstrings and inspiring life goals! Calm, collected, and always calculated, fans like Ivwananji Nalomba and Arafat Smith want his composed energy (and maybe a few of his secrets too). Plus, he’s apparently “the ventilation in a sealed one-room house.” That’s a poetic way to say “essential”!
Chiyumba from Inkondo is another standout. Fans are loving his fatherly strength and fluent Tonga. Shoutout to Garvin and Ocy who say he’s “the man” and “keeps them glued to the screens.”
Even side characters like Chola, Kuzo, Uncle Zuze, and Tombi have their loyal followers, with people admitting they share personalities with them… or simply wish they had their drama-filled lives
One thing is clear – Zambezi Magic isn’t just delivering entertainment, it’s giving fans relatable characters who reflect their personalities, aspirations, and sometimes… their inner chaos.
So, we’ll ask again:
If YOU could step into any Zambezi Magic character’s shoes, who would it be?
