At the time, Thuli was playing Namhla Diale on the popular SABC1 soapie, a role that introduced her to South African screens and helped build her profile as a performer. The video captures a version of her that feels worlds away from the media personality, DJ, and actress she is recognised as today.
"Hi guys, you should definitely watch Generations tonight because it's the hottest show. Like, duh. And of course, there will be interesting things. And if you want to know what went down with Smanga Namcha, catch it," she said in the video, full of energy and clearly in full promotional mode.
