Generations – The Legacy introduces a new family as Season 34 continues with exciting and groundbreaking storylines.
Tinah Mnumzana joins the award-winning soapie as Ausi Nokwazi Lukhozi, an impulsive and spontaneous character. Anything goes with her. Reckless but trying to get things together. She was a pretty girl, but she has abused her body. Loyal to the streets, loyal to anyone who gives her money. Talkative. Opinionated. Wrong or right, she’s always right. She can sell anything. Persuasive. Never take no for an answer. She ignores things she doesn’t like, like she didn’t hear it. She loves everyone, but it depends on what she gets from you. She’s street-smart. She knows no boundaries. She can start a conversation with anyone.
Tinah Mnumzama says about joining Generations – The Legacy – “It feels so good and beautiful at the same time to be part of the biggest production. The crew and cast are amazing and have welcomed me so warmly. Working along the likes of Manaka Ranaka (Lucy Diale) is amazing.”
Nozuko Ntshangase joins the show, playing the role of Vuyelwa Nxumalo. Vuyelwa is smart. She is Pushy and a straight talker. The private school taught since Grade One and has never been without opportunities. She is hard-working and wants those around her to do the same. Desperate to make it big, make a big name for herself before 30. She’s empathetic but tries to fight against it because this is a dog-eat-dog world. Nozuko is adorable, and it is easy to mistake her for naïve until she surprises you. She’s methodical and hates adapting. A great planner, non-experimental unless pushed. She wants to have an investigative journalistic show on TV, an international platform. MM Media is a step closer but not a destination. “I am so excited to join the mother of all soapies. Breathing life to the character of Vuyelwa is amazing, and I can’t wait for the people to witness the magic,” Nthshangase said.
Phillip Tipo Tindisa will play the role of Donald Brave. A real delakufa. Some may call him a criminal. A survivor. Bitter about everything. Life has knocked him hard. Angry and insecure. Desperate and forced to be dependent. Unreliable. Cunning. Disconnected from family (for years). He is compassionate, loving and caring. With very little education. Educated by hardships. Living in poverty. He is good with guns but would rather not use them. Scared of himself. He knows what he is capable of but avoids being pushed to that point. Gaunt. He has just come from a mine, a hole as a zama-zama. On joining the show, Phillip Tipo Tindisa says, “I’m honoured to join the cast and crew of Generations – The Legacy, and I am happy to be part of the family.”

Sannah Mchunu joins the show as Sis’Phindi MaNxumalo, a modest, kind, silent, but sharp sword when provoked. Secretive. Demanding. Submissive to men only. Adaptable. Full of shame and guilt but comes across as protective. She is bitter and dresses older than she is. Confident on the outside but crumbling on the inside. Courageous. Responsible.
Sannah Mchunu says – “When I got the call that I got the role, I felt like break dancing. I have always wanted to be part of the biggest production Generations – The Legacy. I thank the almighty for this biggest opportunity.”
