Meet the new stars bringing bold drama to season 34 of ‘Generations: The Legacy'
Season 34 of Generations: The Legacy welcomes four talented actors: Tinah Mnumzana, Nozuko Ntshangase, Phillip 'Tipo' Tindisa, and Sannah Mchunu.
The new characters debut between June and July, bringing fresh storylines to the show, from streetwise survival to investigative journalism dreams and family complexities.
Viewers can look forward to captivating performances and unique narratives.
Four veteran actors are set to join the cast of SABC1's Generations: The Legacy. Tinah Mnumzana, Nozuko Ntshangase, Phillip 'Tipo' Tindisa, and Sannah Mchunu will debut on the show between June and July, introducing fresh storylines. The announcement was made by SABC1 and Morula Pictures in a statement on Thursday as the soap's 34th season continues.
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 used to be a pretty girl but has since 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.
On joining Generations – The Legacy, Mnumzana said: '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 alongside 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. Private school-taught since Grade one, she 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.
Speaking about her new role, Ntshangase said she was 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.'
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 said, '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 said: '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.'
Ausi Nokwazi debuts on the 30 June, Vuyelwa debuts on the 9 July, Donald debuts on the 11 July and Phindi on 23 July 2025.
The show also welcomes back Buntu Petse to reprise her role as Nontle Majola and also bids farewell to the beloved characters of detective Pele Dali Malinga, played by Andile Nebulane and Siphesihle Cele, played by Pearl Noxolo Monama.

Billy Flynn Received ‘Blessing' From This Y&R Star
Billy Flynn's debut is quickly approaching on The Young and the Restless. While this is an exciting new opportunity for the Days of Our Lives actor, he was nervous. However, any doubts about his new gig were diminished after receiving praise from his new co-star. In March, Flynn sent shockwaves across the soap community when he announced his Days exit and joined Y&R. The actor, who plays Chad DiMera on the Peacock drama took a big risk with the career move. But it's one he felt needed to be done. In a new interview with TV Guide Magazine, Flynn opened up about the decision to leave Days. 'I felt like my version of Chad had run its course. It wasn't for money. I wanted to feel excited again about the work, and I wanted to work with different people and learn more,' he explained. Just as Flynn made the decision to leave Days, Y&R approached him with an offer. The actor was excited about his new role, yet also nervous, especially his first scenes with co-star Eric Braeden. While working with a legendary actor like Braeden can be intimidating, Flynn had a wonderful experience with his co-star. 'We got along from the jump. He's just super kind and sweet to me. I felt like he gave me the blessing, and that made me feel good.' With a new role and new co-stars, Flynn has reignited his creative spark. The actor will have the soap community buzzing with his debut during the week of June 16th. While speculation is that Flynn is playing Aristotle Dumas, his role remains a secret. Fans will have to wait and see who Flynn's character will be, and what drama he'll bring to Genoa City. Check out Soap Hub Says episode 6.
