https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shaka-Zulu-Complete-Mini--Blu-ray/dp/B01FQVXG4O?Henry Cele stars as powerful and mighty Zulu leader in the critically-acclaimed 10-part mini-series which comes to Blu-ray in its entirety for the very first time, 30 years after the premiere broadcast.
Set in 19th century Africa, Shaka Zulu follows the story of the powerful and courageous leader, Shaka, and his rise to fulfil an ancient tribal prophecy of uniting Africa whilst the British were trying to gain control.
Featuring a fantastic all-star cast including Edward Fox, Robert Powell and Christopher Lee, and filmed on location in South Africa, this is an epic tale of courage and triumph.
This will be supposedly released by Revelation Films in UK.
I'm not sure if it will be eventually, since another release has been announced since years now, and it always gets pushed back.
About the duration of the series:
There are various home video releases with various durations.
According to this user here the most complete one is 550 minutes:

Amazon says 500 minutes for the bluray, but of course amazon regularly makes mistakes and just mentions random specs.
BBFC has passed this uncut with a duration of 524 min 57 seconds.

I don't know if this duration takes into account the pal speedup, but if it does,
524 min and 57 seconds is 547 minutes and 22 seconds in NTSC. (~550 minutes, which confirms the user's claim)
