Asanda Foji says new TV role is a ‘blessing from God’

Former Generations: The Legacy actress Asanda Foji will soon make her return to TV with a role as a bride on a SABC 1 show.

Asanda‚ who made headlines last year when reports of her dismissal were released before the actress was notified of her release by the show‚ surprised fans recently when she posted pictures of herself on the set of a new show.

Talking to TMG Entertainment‚ Asanda revealed that after leaving Generations‚ she worked on several small roles for six months before landing her latest gig.

“I really thought it wouldn’t take this long. I’m surprised it took so long. I kept thinking that God had led me out of Generations so that I could take another role a week or two later but it didn’t happen. But I kept praying and drawing strength from God. I didn’t want to be a statistic. And so I worked on some smaller projects and even returned to theatre for a bit‚ but eventually this role came around and this one is big‚” she says.

“This new role is a great blessing from God. He always comes through for me.”

Although Asanda refuses to reveal the name of the show she is working on‚ she says fans will once again see her playing the role of a bride.

“I am playing the role of a bride. I always play the role of a bride. I think it’s a sign. God must be telling me something‚” she laughs.
