Ok this was inspired by
Sowetan. I saw their Top 10 list of SA villains and I thought I should do mine. I don't know if it has been done before but here is my Top 10. What's yours??
1) Barker Haines (Robert Whitehead) most of us first knew him on SABC3’s Isidingo as Barker Haines father to Lee and Duncan. He was Charel De Villiers’ husband who happens to be a villain in her own right. They were a good match, as they were scheming together and also fighting each other but Barker defeated Cherel in their fight after they divorced. Khona is there anyone still watching Isidingo. Honestly I don’t watch it even now they have decided to add some more spice by casting the president’s daughter. I just can’t bring myself into watching it, I don’t why, maybe I am missing out.
2) Ntsiki (Pamela Nomvete) was Generations' first villain; damn this woman was brilliant in playing that character. She made a lot of people’s lives a living hell in Generations. She was always fighting with man. I don’t think there was any woman who put up with her bad behaviour. She didn’t like Archie at all, everything that had to do with Archie, Ntsiki had to ruin. She died when she was shot by her friend Sara. Everyone was devastated when Pamela Nomvete left Generations. Many thought it was the end of Generations but the soap is still up and kicking. Bloggers talk about it everyday even thought they say it sucks. I know it is not the same as before but we are still glued on our screens every weekdays at 8pm.
3) Jack Mabaso (Vusi Kunene) was on Generations. He was Sbusiso Dlomo’s rival. They were constantly on each others case. Jack made it worse by being in a relationship with Sbusiso’s sister, Busi. He died, killed by Busi herself. I am scared of this guy even in real life do you see those eyes yhooo. He is a natural when it comes to playing those dangerous characters.
4) Cherel De Villiers Haines (Michelle Bortes) was on Isidingo. She was Barker’s wife. I am sure they were attracted to each other by their bad behaviour. This woman would do anything to get what she wants either from her husband or anyone. But at the end Barker was the man.
5) Kenneth Mashaba (Seputla Sebogodi) of Generations, oh this man is making Dinny’s life a living hell right now. He is very mean to the poor woman. He does not only do bad things to other people but his family as well, wife, kids everyone is the same to Mashaba. He’s rival is the one and only Dloms, they are competing mostly in business. I don’t know why most people like this villain because I often hear people say they like him. One guy said to me he is happy now that Mashaba is back on his feet coz he was no longer watching Generations.
6) Anne De Villiers (Camilla Waldaman) was in Generations, I can say this woman took over Ntsiki’s place in Generations but she didn't replace her. She was fighting with women and men in Generations. Everyone had to watch their back around Anne coz they never knew what she was up to. But in the end she slowly became a softie. We don’t know whether this was her way of getting people’s trust so she can scheme them again without realising. Busi decided to end Anne’s life and commit suicide afterwards.
7) David Genaro (Jamie Bartlett) is Rhythm City’s first villain. This one a smooth talker especially with woman like Lucilla. He really knows how to play with a woman's mind. He is forever in Miles Vilakazi’s case (Lucilla’s ex-husband). I like him especially when he talks his lingo that is sometimes tricky. Sometimes he can be a woman that one might think Lucilla is seating with her gay friend. Maybe that's his way of getting around woman, I don’t know.
8) Gita ( Jo da Silva)of 7 de Laan. I don’t know much about her but I hear she is doing her best in making people’s lives a living hell in de Laan and she knows how to get what she wants no matter what happens.
9) Daniel Nyathi (Sello Make ka Ncube)of Scandal I have just started watching this soapie so I don’t know much about what he has gotten up to, to make his mark as a villain. But I know he’s been fighting a lot with another villain Abigail lately. Who got his son Mangi kidnapped and turned into a drug addict but eventually became clean. This man wants his sweet revenge.
10) Duke (Carlos Radebe) of Backstage, He was Nomonde’s man who owned a club. He would do anything to protect his business. He had his right hand man all over to protect him and his girlfriend was not afraid of anyone she knew her man would sort them out.
NB:Again I don't know if it has been done before so don't bite my head if it has been done before, THANK YOU.
