The producers of Jongo are not particular fans of computer-generated effects. Instead, they focus on physical effects and actual stunts for their action scenes.
Jongo is shot predominantly on location in Johannesburg. There are no sets. An average broadcast-hour episode utilises approximately a dozen different locations.
The actor who plays the title role of Eli King never auditioned for the part. He was cast after one of the Jongo producers spotted him on stage at a dance competition.
The actor who plays Benjamin's father first appears in the show in a wheelchair. This is partly because a portion of his foot had been amputated a week before the shoot.
Jongo is the world's first mainstream, African-based superhero TV show.
