Phil added, "This follows the 25-year-old’s acting stint on the Christmas movie “Boxing Day” last year."
Fans have since reacted to the news, and while others are happy and looking forward to seeing Mihlali on the show, others are not as excited for her. Here are a few reactions from Twitter.
@Munri_tar wrote, "would have never known if there was a MaVesta or a Bafana joining Generations. But now, I will definitely watch Generations with Mihlali. Media and Broadcasting is a Business. It’s not your therapist. It’s not made to Validate you. It’s a business in a struggling country!"
@Flo_taolo: "This is the same direction Metro FM took when they employed some of the current personalities, No Talent... Just a couple of followers in social media platforms and Boom.. you get the job."
This is not the first acting gig for Mihlali. She has previously appeared on a few of Mzansi's popular shows. Read More: Mihlali Makes Acting Debut
Phil also shared that the radio and TV personality Mohale Motaung and YouTube sensation Lasizwe will make a cameo appearance on an episode of the new series produced by Quizzical Pictures for Netflix.
He added that the pair will get a chance to star alongside the likes of Nthati Moshesh & Dumi Mbebe on the new show. This could be Lasizwe's first acting gig while Mohale on the other hand debuted his acting career back in 2020. Read More: Mohale Motaung Joins Rhythm City!
A few days ago Mohale confirmed that he together with the Collen Mashawana Foundation will be building a home for the Eastern Cape family that lost everything when their home burnt down.
He added, "I can’t even begin to express how happy the family is - I am grateful 😇 Thank you to everyone who is helping with this, and a special thank you to the coll and the #AddHope team from @kfcsouthafrica for helping with some food for the family."
He previously revealed that the family had suffered a great deal and is currently living in temporary accommodation.
