Actress Sannah Mchunu, who is famously known for playing the character of Zodwa, recently opened up about landing a role on Generations: The Legacy.

The award-winning star reveals in an interview with Sowetan that the difference between Zodwa and Phindi is that Phindi is more timid than Zodwa was. Zodwa was streetwise and had a drinking problem.

Mchunu adds that Phindi is from a rural area, but she’s fixated on her vengeance against a man who abused her back in the day. Phindi is angry, and she plans to ruin the man who ruined her life.

The popular star also reveals that she was excited to join to see actors Rapulana Seiphemo, who plays Tau Mogale, and Vusi Kunene, who plays Jack Mabaso.

Mchunu shares that the cast of the SABC1 soapie were all welcoming and warm, when she joined the show.

"I felt like a celebrity. It’s as though I’ve found a new family similar to the one I had on Gomora," says the star.

The multi-award-winning actress also opens up about her popular character on Mzansi Magic's Gomora.

Mchunu shared in the interview that life after Gomora wasn’t too bad as she collaborated with MultiChoice on a few gigs, and I got a role on another Mzansi Magic production.

The fan-favourite star previously scored a role on Mzansi Magic's popular series, Icala, opposite Lerato Mvelase.
