Generations The Legacy

We’ve been waiting with baited breath for the new Generations – The Legacy.  After the first episode, it’s clear that the soapie’s creator Mfundi Vundla has done an outstanding job; he’s introduced a fresh cast among familiar faces. The drama is punted as being heart-warming, with a touch of shock and humour.
