Generations Arrival – Throne Star Monnye Kunupi Lands on Palesa’s Doorstep.<\/strong><\/p>\n “Stop the sex work!”<\/p>\n “Let me help you.”<\/p>\n These are the words we can expect to hear from\u00a0Mme Ntswaki, who arrives on Generations: The Legacy tonight (Monday, 11 May).<\/p>\n She’s played by Monnye Kunupi, most recently seen on our screens in the starring role of Queen Mosadi on the Mzansi Magic telenovela The Throne.<\/p>\n She’s also been seen on Generations before. In pre-Legacy days, where she played Dorothy Mabuza.<\/p>\n If you knew her back in the day send us a shout-out!<\/p>\n Her other TV credits include Isidingo, Society, Jacob’s Cross, a starring role on StarTiimes One’s Maseko Ties and\u00a0a three-time stint on e.tv’s eKasi: Our Stories.<\/p>\n Tonight she’s wiping off her make-up as Mme Ntswaki, who turns-up on Palesa’s (Busisiwe Xaba) doorstep, tired, down-and-out.<\/p>\n She’s described as\u00a0a resilient woman who’s willing to do anything to make her children happy.\u00a0She\u2019s a hustler with good intentions, but her weakness is…- moolah. Quick money.<\/p>\n She soon discovers that Palesa is a sex worker and vows to do everything in her power to change Palesa’s life.<\/p>\n BUT, in true soapieville style, things don\u2019t go according to plan and Palesa’s left with a shocking disaster on her hands.<\/p>\n This from Monnye on her role:<\/p>\n Monnye:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve played a lot of glamorous roles in the past, but there is nothing glamorous about Mme Ntswaki. This is a meaty role and I\u2019m really enjoying it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n According to Gen’s Casting Director Russel Savadier, the show believes they’ve hit a double whammy:<\/p>\n Russel:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cMonnye is a fabulous actress. She\u2019s a really good physical match for Busi – they look like mother and daughter, so that was a total bonus.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n See if you think so too.<\/p>\n
