Thuli Phongolo is back on Generations: The Legacy, reprising her role as Namhla Diale.

Namhla is ambitious, intelligent, cunning, slightly aloof, and fiercely independent. She shares a complicated relationship with her parents, Lucy Diale and Jack Mabaso.

Although she loves Lucy deeply, their bond has always been difficult to navigate. Jack, on the other hand, hopes to groom Namhla to enter his world — a world she finds both alluring and dangerous.

When Namhla returns, she is no longer the gawky, geeky, shy teenager viewers once knew. Her time living and working overseas has transformed her. She is now worldly, confident in her skills and talents, and yearns for a bigger life — a life she believes Jack can provide. But will Jack’s dangerous world prove too much for her?

Thuli Phongolo said about her return to Generations: the Legacy:

“Returning to Generations: The Legacy feels like coming back home. I’m excited to reconnect with the cast, crew, and fans, and to bring new energy to my character’s journey.”

Namhla will return to screens on Friday, 25 April 2025
