Why Letoya Makhene-Pulumo (Tshidi) left Generations

South African actress Letoya Makhene-Pulumo opens up about leaving SABC1 soapie Generations: The Legacy as Tshidi Moroka-Phakade in 2021. The Home Wrecker actress Letoya Makhene-Pulumo tells TshisaLIVE that she chose to focus on her other talents and didn’t leave Generations: The Legacy on bad terms.

The actress, who just landed a role in a Netflix film adds that she absolutely loves film and this is why she made a decision to leave Generations: The Legacy.

“Not because I didn’t enjoy it or I didn’t appreciate the platform that I had. We are talking about working 12-hour days and that is outside early morning, when you wake up and when you put those together. We are literally working for 16 hours.”

The singer also revealed that soapie stars are learning scripts over and over and have no life outside that soapie.

She’s been blessed with many other gifts as she’s a singer, a traditional healer, a songwriter and many other different talents that she needed to get in touch with.
