Soapie viewers won’t let actors, Sonia Mbele, Katlego Danke, Seputla Sebogodi, and Connie Ferguson forget the characters they played years ago on Generations, now dubbed Generations: The Legacy.   

Actress, Sonia Mbele, who played the role of Ntombi Dhlomi on the show recently trended when realised fans still called her by her Generations character.

SONIA MBELE AS NTOMBI DHLOMO

Ntombi exited the show more than five years ago and was married to actor, Menzi Ngubane, who played the role of Sibusiso Dhlomo.    

She recently tweeted:

“Y’all really still call me Ntombi?”   

Tweeps flooded her mentions and reminded her that she will always be Ntombi, the same way the late Menzi Ngubane will always be Sibusiso.  

The pair were Mzansi’s favourite on-screen couple, and viewers became even more attached to them when they had a baby named, Christina Dlhomo.
