GENERATIONS' PUBLICIST CONFIRMS HOSPITALISATION Generations (now dubbed Generations: The legacy) spokesperson and publicist Nandipha Pantsi confirmed to City Press in May 2022 that the producer Mfundi Vundla had spent time at a Parktown hospital for a chronic illness.
Pantsi told the publication: Yes, he was in the hospital, but he is at home now and he's doing well.
It is believed his ill health was kept under wraps from cast members and the public.
A senior Generations cast member told the publication:
I don't know anything about him not being okay. I have not seen him in the office in a while, but I did not ask anyone because he is my boss, and his personal life does not concern me in anyway. I was not even aware that he was in the hospital. I hope he gets well soon.
Though City Press did not specify his illness, the publication revealed that the 75-year-old executive producer and director was reported to be in a frail condition when he battled the chronic illness.
