Actress Brenda Mhlongo speaks on her exit from ‘Generation: The Legacy’

Actress Brenda Mhlongo has spoken about her exit from Generations: The Legacy.

“My contract was not renewed. The writers said they don’t know how to take my character forward.”

She played Nandi, Jack Mabaso’s wife. In the story line she was unstable and was locked up in a mental institution – this role made her a much-loved character on the show.

“I was really hurt when they told me that my character was ending. I really loved playing Nandi – we had similarities in our personalities. And I learnt a lot from her and how she solved problems.

“I would have loved to continue playing the character but there is nothing I can do about it.”

As she has no acting jobs lined up, Brenda is focused on making people smile through her foundation. She is organising a Christmas treat for street children and elderly people through her foundation, Brenda Mhlongo Worldwide Foundation.

“While on Generations I put my foundation work on hold but now I’ve gone back to it.”
