Sources closer to the production revealed that Zola requested a salary increase despite writers finding it hard to expand her storyline.
“She requested an increase to around R17 800 per month, which is reasonable but did not match her current role. Her team reached out and failed to settle for that amount with the showrunners hence the resignation.”
Generations The Legacy showrunners claim that Zola left to pursue other projects, and there is no bad blood between the two camps. Speaking to this publication, Zola Nombona revealed that she would forever belong to the Generations The Legacy family.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to showcase my talent on South Africa’s biggest soapie. My journey with the soapie ends today, but the family remains forever; I left to explore different opportunities
