SONIA MBELE AS NTOMBI DHLOMO Ntombi exited the show more than five years ago and was married to actor, Menzi Ngubane, who played the role of Sibusiso Dhlomo.
She recently tweeted:
--
Y'all really still call me Ntombi?
Tweeps flooded her mentions and reminded her that she will always be Ntombi, the same way the late Menzi Ngubane will always be Sibusiso.
The pair were Mzansi's favourite on-screen couple, and viewers became even more attached to them when they had a baby named, Christina Dlhomo.

Ferguson Films creator and actress, Connie Ferguson, who currently plays the role of Harriet Khoza on The Queen got her big break on Generations as Karabo Moroka in 1994.
