Sonia Mbele Surprised That People Still Call Her Ntombi Dlomo

• Sonia Mbele easily played one of the most iconic roles in South African television history when she was Ntombi Dlomo on Generations
• Sonia last appeared on screen as Ntombi in 2009 when she was one of the last original cast members to leave the Mfundi Vundla production
• 12 years later, the actress still can't seem to escape the character of Sbusiso Dlomo's wife and fans still don't know her real name

It must be both a blessing and a curse to have played a role so well that your fans will forever remember you for it. Sonia Mbele is one of those actresses who will never live past a certain character, so much so that some fans don't even know her real name.

Sonia Mbele joined the cast of Generations in 2003 as Sbusiso Dlomo's wife. The two were one of Mzansi's favourite on-screen couples, right after Karabo and Tau. Their TV reign did not last long after TimesLIVE reported that Mfudni Vundla sacked 16 cast members for striking.

Mbele has been posting smoking hot content on her social media lately and one thing that really caught her eye in the comments was the number of people calling her Ntombi.

Even after she addressed the issue of her name, fans still let her know that they will never acknowledge her as anyone else.
