Is Namhla Returning? Thuli Phongolo Sparks ‘Generations’ Comeback Rumors

Fans of Generations: The Legacy are buzzing with excitement after a recent TikTok video posted by actress Thuli Phongolo sparked speculation about her possible return to the show. Thuli, who portrayed the beloved character Namhla Diale, may be hinting at a comeback, sending social media into a frenzy.

Thuli Phongolo’s Mysterious TikTok Post

Thuli Phongolo recently shared a TikTok video of herself at Urban Brew Studios—the very location where Generations: The Legacy is filmed. She accompanied the clip with a cryptic caption:

“You’re on set but then you realize your true calling.”

This unexpected post has left fans wondering: Is she simply visiting, working on a different project, or actually reprising her role as Namhla? The possibilities are endless, and speculation is running wild.

A Look Back at Namhla’s Departure

Namhla Diale, the daughter of the infamous Jack Mabaso, was a fan-favorite character on Generations: The Legacy. Thuli Phongolo portrayed Namhla for four years before leaving the show in 2018. At the time, she shared an emotional farewell message on social media, which she later deleted—an action that has fueled rumors for years.

Since her departure, Thuli has kept busy, taking on roles in hit series like The Wife on Showmax and Rockville. While she has successfully expanded her acting career, the thought of her returning to Generations has fans on edge with anticipation.

What Would a Namhla Comeback Mean?

If Namhla were to return, it could shake up the storyline in a major way. Her character, a tech-savvy and independent woman, had deep connections with some of the show’s most powerful figures—especially her father, Jack Mabaso.

Would her return bring drama? Absolutely. Fans are already imagining intense confrontations, shocking revelations, and, of course, the signature suspense that Generations: The Legacy is known for.

Reality or Just a Tease?

At this point, nothing has been confirmed. Thuli has not explicitly stated that she is rejoining the cast, and Generations: The Legacy producers have remained silent on the matter. However, with the actress dropping such a major hint, fans will be watching closely for more clues.

Until then, all we can do is speculate, rewatch Namhla’s most iconic moments, and hope that Thuli Phongolo gives us more hints about what’s next. Stay tuned for updates!
