Generations’ Mahlatse Letoka Speaks More About Her TV Character Xolelwa

Although Mahlatse Letoka points out that she has very little in common with Xolelwa, she salutes the fact that her role on the soapie Generations: The Legacy made her more confidant than she was in the beginning. Mahlatse is a young actor who has just started her career in a great way and is looking forward to land more interesting roles on new productions in the country and also internationally if possible. She joined Generations the legacy in 2015.

HER CHARACTER MADE HER MORE BOLD
The Limpopo-born actress says the only thing she has in common with her character is the go-getter attitude. “Xolelwa and I are gogetters even though our methods of going about it are different,” says the 19-year-old actress. “She does it in a streetwise style and I’m into entrepreneurship.

I feel that she’s blonde. She doesn’t make calculated decisions because she thinks for the now and doesn’t think things through. She’s willing to get scars.” She adds that her character likes to take the easy route to attain things. “I feel like Xolelwa is super confident compared to me.

She’s boosted my confidence because I realised I could be just as confident. She’s encouraged me to be crazier than I am because her boundaries are on another level.”
