Connie Ferguson is preparing to return to Generations: The Legacy, bringing one of South Africa’s most recognisable television characters back to the screen.
However, her comeback has sparked another conversation among viewers. Fans are now questioning whether Somizi Mhlongo could also appear in the popular SABC 1 soapie.
The speculation began after Somizi appeared in a video shared on the show’s online platforms. Although his involvement remains unclear, viewers have already suggested several possible roles for the entertainer.
Connie Ferguson Returns as Karabo Moroka
Connie Ferguson will reprise her iconic role as Karabo Moroka on Generations: The Legacy. Her return marks another chapter in her long association with the celebrated television drama.
The actress originally joined the soapie when it debuted in 1994. Since then, she has left and returned several times while expanding her career beyond acting.
Furthermore, Connie built a successful production company, Ferguson Films, alongside her late husband, Shona Ferguson.
A video circulating on the soapie’s online pages has now excited longtime viewers. In the clip, Connie walks through backstage corridors while warmly interacting with members of the production team.
Her appearance has fuelled excitement among fans who have followed Karabo’s journey for decades. However, Connie’s comeback is not the only talking point surrounding the show.
Is Somizi Mhlongo Also Joining Generations?
While viewers celebrate Connie’s return, Somizi’s appearance in the video has raised fresh questions.
Some fans believe the entertainer could join the cast, while others think he might contribute behind the scenes. However, neither possibility has been confirmed.
One popular theory suggests Somizi could play Karabo’s best friend. Another proposes that he might help style the cast, given his involvement in fashion design.
Meanwhile, Somizi already has experience in the entertainment industry beyond presenting and performing. His memorable portrayal of Fire in the 1992 film Sarafina! remains among his notable acting appearances.
His possible involvement has therefore encouraged viewers to share their own casting ideas.
Fans Share Their Theories
Several social media users welcomed Connie’s return, while others focused on Somizi’s mysterious appearance.
Hannah Molatelo Morudu wrote: “Three times dam***, welcome back, Karabo Moroka.”
Aactionn Shanguro commented: “Karabo is back.”
Fulu Mphaphuli added: “Welcome back, Karabo.”
Ndumiso Kumalo also expressed excitement, saying: “She is coming back soon to Generations.”
However, other viewers wanted answers about Somizi’s potential involvement.
Khanyiso Zazini asked: “uSomizi uzobangubani ke ngk [What role will Somizi be playing?]”
Donald Màmadi offered a different theory, suggesting Somizi could appear as himself.
“He’s coming on the show as Somizi from Metro FM. Lucy will write to [the] Ask a Man show on Metro FM, and that’s how Somizi will be on Generations.”
Dinel Natasha proposed another possibility, writing: “[As] Karabo’s bestie and Lucy’s new friend.”
Sambulo Andy Favor Adams suggested Somizi could work with the wardrobe team.
“Maybe uyabagqokisa [he will style the actors] [since] he is a fashion designer, I stand to be corrected, mangi [if I’m] wrong.”
For now, viewers can celebrate Connie’s anticipated return while waiting for clarity about Somizi’s involvement.
Whether he joins the cast or contributes in another capacity remains unconfirmed. Nevertheless, the speculation has added another talking point to the soapie’s latest developments.
