Tell us a bit about your character

I play an educated young girl named "Nolwazi" who was born and bred in a township in Jo'burg. She left the city to pursue a career in Cape Town. Now she's back in Jo'burg to shake things up.

Has it always been a dream to be a part of the Generations cast?

Oh yes! It has always been a dream. It's such an honour to be part of such a huge show in SA.

How did you get casted?

I auditioned like everyone else through my agent.

Have you started shooting - and how would you describe the mood on set?

Yes, I've started shooting. Everybody works well together. The mood is friendly, very welcoming and calm.

What should viewers expect from "Nolwazi"?

"Nolwazi" is feisty. She's going to stir things up...

Thando Thabethe's career is at an all-time high she also was announced as the new face of Nivea South Africa

We wonder if Thando will be able to convince her fellow cast member, Lletoya Mangezi to be Kelly Khumalo's new sangoma.

Congratulations Thando.
