Nozuko Ntshangase role

The SABC announced on Thursday, 19 June, that actress Nozuko Ntshangase will portray the character of Vuyelwa Nxumalo. Her character is smart, pushy, and a straight talker.

Vuyelwa wants to have an investigative journalistic show on TV, an international platform. MM Media is a step closer, but not a destination.

Ntshangase says she's excited to join the mother of all soapies. The star adds that breathing life into the character of Vuyelwa is amazing, and she can’t wait for the viewers to witness the magic.”

Tinah Mnumzana's role

Former The River star 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 had abused her body. Loyal to the streets, loyal to anyone who gives her money," reads the statement.

Phillip Tipo Tindisa's role

Actor Phillip Tipo Tindisa will portray the character of Donald Brave. Tindisa's character is a survivor who appears to be a criminal. He's been disconnected from his family for years.

He is compassionate, loving, and caring, but also scared of himself as he knows what he is capable of and avoids being pushed too far.

Tindisa says he's honoured to join the cast of the show and he's happy to be part of the family.

Sannah Mchunu's role

Former Gomora actress Sannah Mchunu will play the role of Sis’Phindi MaNxumalo. MaNxumalo is a modest, kind, silent, but sharp sword when provoked.

She's bitter and dresses older than she is, and appears to be confident on the outside.

An excited Mchunu shares that she felt like break-dancing when she received the news about her character.

"I have always wanted to be part of the biggest production Generations – The Legacy," says the award-winning star.

Ausi Nokwazi debuts on the 30th of June, Vuyelwa debuts on the 9th of July, Donald debuts on the 11th of July and Phindi on the 23rd of July 2025.
