So Busi managed to convince Sbusiso to finally attend his first AA meeting. It was really funny watching him sit there listening to everybody going on about how they feel like failures etc etc. When it was his turn to talk, Sbuda stood up and said “Sorry to disturb your meeting, I don’t belong here”.
I was like:
“Damn right you don’t belong there. You belong in a Zoo! Yes, in a zoo, along with the rest of your cast members. At least if you are all in a zoo, caged and all, you won’t have to worry about wearing a disguise when going out shopping, for fear of us stupid MTF viewers attacking you just coz we believe everything that happens on set is real”. *sigh*. The Johannesburg Zoo is kinda spacious actually, plus it’s not far from Auckland Park. Damn, I should have thought about this before
Tube’s (SABC 2) 10th Birthday celebration on Saturday (which was kinda fun, by the way)! There could have been lots more funny creatures for the kiddies to marvel at.
Imagine Queen and Princie in their cage next to the apes,
Sbusiso drowning his sorrows like a sea lion...he he he ...
Shame, no one would dare visit Busi’s cage, like Sbusiso said, she is damn irritating.
Of course this was told to her when she interrupted him unpacking a case of booze he had bought to replace all the bottles he supposedly threw away.
The way it happened really was very....umm... zoo like. I mean, why pack the booze carefully in a black plastic bag and not just pour it down the sink like they usually do on TV? Why not? Was it Generation trying to be creative again?
Like they were creative with the
“Princey on the balcony plot”? 
Really, if they tried to send an “alcohol is dangerous” message about that scene, they failed dismally. I had to think very hard to remember that it even took place.
Somehow Sbusiso got drunk while babysitting Princey and the boy ended up on his balcony so Queen came JIT and saved him...
blah blah blah...shut up (as Vanessa Marawa would put it!).
On to Anne, who continues to bore the living hell out of me: I only realized recently that she’s actually the only white person in the cast? So since, a large number of us believe the show is real, what image are they portraying to us about white people?
Though Anne is not using a mirror to steal something : ), she used a memory stick to steal Ezweni information from Ntombi’s laptop. Of course, for the most part, Anne never works alone so she is giving the inside info to Jack who in turn, sells it to Kenneth Mashaba.
Vusi Kunene is getting wasted as Jack “
Head of Obscurity” Mabaso. An actor of his calibre should be in shows such as Snitch, Hard Copy or if he wants to be in a soapie then he should check out which one (s) did well at the SAFTA’s. Hint! Hint!
Of all the actors that leave the show, I would be happy to see Vusi leave, not only because of his boring character that is not going anywhere but because his talent deserves far much better.
Poor Magda is struggling to deal with the fact that she is HIV Positive. At least I wasn’t far off with the HIV plot folks, here it is right in the Mogale mansion. Damn, I still miss Tau.
Mara noh, Khaphela is too good to be true! My opinion of Zulu men is kinda twisted and I know that is some twisted ish right thurr but damn, Khaphela is the man!! I love how supportive he is of Magda.
Khaphela also agreed to accompany Magda when she goes to break the news of her status to her mother. I guess Khaphela kinda feels close to Magda’s family after the one on one bonding he did with her father’s rotten bones. Yeah, the bones he uncovered from the garden belonged to his late future father in law. Of course we were fed some lame story about how he ended up there...I don’t even remember what exactly.
I’m also very glad that Magda decided to lay attempted murder charges against Jacob for knowingly infecting her with the HIV virus. The bastard had it coming and luckily he is now behind bars.
Ok, Generations folks, here’s an excellent opportunity to show us courtroom drama!! Don’t mess it up! You guys need to try something new and get out of the posh offices, heavy make up and fancy outfits that are so far away from us the “stupid” millions who watch and believe your show anyway. If you can’t use it with Magda’s case then at least use with Cleo and Jason’s rape story!!! It would be interesting, not only for me but for other viewers to watch the debate on how Cleo’s “alleged” rape was or wasn’t exactly rape. It would definitely give us something to talk about and since you SABC 1 folk are always on some educational tip, you can use that to educate us too.
You can even get Jay-Z a feature role as the judge to earn some extra cash. Oh! Forgot he doesn’t need it, we’re funding him now.
Cleo, who finally managed to get out of bed and stopped feeling sorry for herself, is upset about the fact that Jason is continuing with his job, while she is at home stressing about pregnancy and whether or not she’s HIV +.
Her friend Zoe left town to go to rehab in Cape Town and I’m not sure if she has left the soap for good but can’t they come up with more original ways of writing people out of the show? (Ok, I think I’m taking this criticizing thing a bit too far, what can they do really, besides kill them or get them to leave?)
If I were Zoe, I would have left too, what with her boyfriend, Zuma paying Cleo more attention than he did to her?
Given Cleo’s current state of affairs I say the best way for her to go out is committing suicide. Sounds violent huh? I just think, given her depression, her sense of blame and bitterness about not being supported by anyone else at Ezweni, it would be more realistic.
If Zamani is not messing up my viewing with his oversized jackets, he is messing up his presentation to Kenneth about Afri Media’s recording label. Kenneth was obviously pissed about his lack of preparation and gave him a lesson or two about how life does not give us second chances and the importance of first impressions.
Zamani left the meeting with his tail between his legs but was given words of encouragement by Thandeka, who seems to be developing feelings for our little Zamani majazana. Shame, Jackie ain’t liking none of this “Thandeka giving advice” ish!
Neither is Tumisho by the sound of things. The pink shirt wearing lawyer is trying to persuade Mr. Mashaba to fire Zamani, will it work?
Hate Kenneth Mashaba but damn, the way he handled Dineo’s bickering about Thandeka was awesome!!
*Yawn* eish...I’m too tired to think up more crap to write ...that’s my piece and I’m out!!
