Known for her role as Karabo Moroka in the popular drama series which is now temporarily off air, Connie Ferguson is making her return to the soapie.

Speaking to Times Live, Ferguson said: "Yes I am coming back."

Her confirmation follows a report in Drum magazine which detailed Ferguson's acceptance of an offer to reprise her role as Karabo Moroka. Rumours of Ferguson coming back have made their rounds for a few weeks with the actress declining to confirm until now.

Ferguson played the role of a rich, spoilt daughter who was a cocaine abuser and who turned her life around to become a capable, and love spurned business woman.

Viewers loved Ferguson's role which also saw her go through a bevy of handsome men and she was renowned for her versatile acting abilities. Ferguson left Generations which pulls over 7 million viewers about three years ago, her character left for overseas with Tau Mogale played by Rapulana Seiphemo who is also said to be a shoo in for the soapie.

Ferguson will juggle running her film production company which she co-owns with her husband, Shona, with playing a character in the upcoming Mzansi Magic Rockville series, running her skin care company, and appearing in Generations.

Speaking to a monthly magazine, Ferguson alluded to her recipe for success by stating that she was a people's person who understood different personality types.

This will come in handy on the Generations set as executive producer, Mfundi Vundla is known for being a strict boss who expects nothing but the best from his cast.
