Khunou’s character is that of a dangerous criminal who shields her real character with her chief financial officer position at a law firm and high-powered financial expertise.
She told City Press that she had auditioned for the character because she had thought it was fascinating.
The Soon Comes Night actress added that being with the show had so far been smooth because Generations: The Legacy was a well-oiled machine. She described the team as efficient.
The former Isono actress said she was honoured to be joining one of the longest-standing soapies in Mzansi. She had watched it while growing up and now getting to be part of it as a professional actress was a wonderful moment for her.
