The actress, who's been on the show for more than a year now, made her last appearance on Tuesday evening. Zola portrayed the character of Pamela Khoza in the soapie and she won the hearts f many people with her raw talent.
Her exit was rather emotional and her fans took to Twitter to say their goodbyes. In a post, the Generation Facebook account bid farewell to her.

Nombona's exit was first announced by Phil Mphela on Twitter in June. According to reports the actress parted ways with the show on good terms.
Zola seemingy enjoyed working in the show. In October 2021, the actress reflected on her experience in Generations: The Legacy on her Instagram account.
“Generations: The Legacy What a journey. I’ve been with the Generations family for more than 6 months now and what a lovely journey it has been.”
“I’ve had multiple opportunities to join the team but it never happened because I guess the timing wasn’t right,” she wrote.
She said she was grateful for the opportunity. “I thought I was not a long-form actor because I get bored easily but quickly realised that I didn’t have the stamina for it (yep acting stamina is a real thing). I normally got the opportunity to test my acting stamina in theatre productions but that hasn’t happened in a while so beku rough.”
“I’m so grateful for the opportunity that I have been granted to be on this show.”
In 2021, she worked for a long time and eventually became fatigued, which led to her hospitalization. In her IG stories, she told her fans to be careful when they get tired. "Sometimes life reminds us that we are mere mortals. Reminder to be kind to yourself fatigue and burnout are real things," she said.
She added "Being a working mother is surely one of the toughest roles I’ve had to play. There are days where I find myself so tired I could cry. Then guilt kicks in. ‘You can’t be complaining of being tired when you’ve been blessed with work, and doing what you love at that’ I think to myself. Then I start feeling tension in my head as I head back to learning my lines and working,” she wrote.
