Rapulana Seiphemo returns to Generations The Legacy

by Bongiwe Mati

Local drama series Generations The Legacy lovers will be happy to hear that veteran actor Rapulana Seiphemo, who plays the character Tau Mogale will be returning to the drama series soon.

The award-winning actor has been with the series since the time it was still called Generations. This was a time when the likes of Sophie Ndaba who played the iconic character Queen, Connie Ferguson who played the fierce Karabo Moroka and many others were part of the cast.

After not seeing eye to eye with the actors who ended up going on strike, Generations producer Mfundi Vundla fired all of them, starting a new series called Generations The Legacy.

Some of the cast members who were given the boot include, Zolisa Xaluva who played the character Jason, Anga Makubalo whose character was MJ, the late Menzi Ngubane who portrayed Sibusiso, Nambitha Mpumlwana whose character was Mawande and many more.

At the time of the strike, Raphulana was not with the drama series and has since randomly made his way back to the series after its relaunch as Generations The Legacy.

Set to return, the news was shared on popular social media platform X (previously known as Twitter) by user @PhilMphela, with the caption.

“Rapulana Seiphemo back on Generations. The actor returns to Generations The Legacy to reprise his iconic Tau Mogale. Seiphemo will make his screen debut on the SABC1 soapie on July 3rd.”
