Thank Gaad to my son for dragging me out of bed to go check him out on Generations, otherwise I would have missed Chris Brown doing his thing on SA's most watched  (mnciiiimmmm) soapie.. Pity my boy couldn't tell me what brother man was saying coz mina nje their accent gets a bit too much for me...

I mean, even watching these black American movies abo Brown Shuga Sugar , Two Can Play That Game, You Got Served, and the likes, I get so confused. Watching at the cinema is a definite no-no for me coz I always ask "Utheni?" hehehehehe 
Watching Chris Rock's Bigger and Blacker with people was an even bigger pain! People would be laughing meanwhile mna I didn't hear a single thing...

Back to Generations: Wow, I can't believe how delayed these episodes are....phela Chris Brown was here around the end of June people...just as RGB was about to go on air!

Usually Kenneth Mashaba or should I say, Seputla is good, but for some reason, standing next to Chris Brown, I felt , eish, I just felt so .... hayi bathong, let me just say, ndive sendisithi "Huu Kenneth bathong, a ko butle!"

So did anyone catch what it was Chris Brown was saying to Kenneth/Zamani/Ajax and co?
All I could work out was that Kenneth wanted him to sign a deal and I found out it odd that Shabisto would expect Chris to just come to SA and all of a sudden sign a deal, or did I miss something?
And Ajax? Are they trying to write him out too? Shouldn't it be Zamani on that bed, seeing that he's supposedly "fired" too?
And that part where Chris went out of his way "just" to greet Grace, is that leading to something or was it put nje just to fill the 22 minutes? I wonder.....

Oh, what a freaking nice red dress Karabo had on. Wrap skirts/dresses are usually nicer on ladies with a bit of curves but no, it looked super fine on Karabs shame. 
I only saw the part where she went to meet that "Anne-wannabe" who's organizing her a bambino. I mean, really as if Anne is not boring enough.....bazisa omnye futhi.

Big Up to Generations on getting Chris Brown on the show shame. Kodwa cute as he is, his acting was "horrible" too...or maybe it's a virus that is generally on the Generations set. 
Or maybe there's something wrong with my eyes....
Or maybe I'm just missing Richard....
Or maybe I'm not really ready to write about Generations yet....
Sorry people this was a mistake, never mind me....

Hae,  I agree with you BS. But do you guys know what cracked me up? When Chris and Zamani were having lunch at Tsalanang. Brown asked Zamani "What is mogodu?"  Zamani in response "A cow's stomach....or something like that! Hello Gen script writers... did the word "TRIPE" slip your minds?????I  laughed my lungs out!!!!!!!

I think even Chris himself doesn't understand what he says most of the time, mna bendimjongile nje, ndijonge nalamaextra endweba nje, hayi suka maan!! Chris Brown is a good kid kodwa hayi mantombazane, chill maan. Generations did a good thing to pull those crazy crowds, hayi ke maan akandifascinate uChris.

20 Nov 2007 00:54

I was just traumatised and unimpressed with the whole Chris Brown cameo role or whatever they call it. couldn't hear a word he said - maybe ngoba bengidla amachips at that time. as for the COWS STOMACH thing ngijabhile hawu Zamani!!!!!!!!!

Mtwana
20 Nov 2007 00:56

but it still felt like generations going crazy over the chris brown child who one would have missed for a CPT guy nje , oqeda ukufika eJHB and htat Mashaba guy, ngathi he was reading his script right there and then the way abe shocked ngakhona at seeing chris brown

KeleFabulous
20 Nov 2007 01:01

hehehe nami i cudn't hear what the boy was saying. ngi bone nje ngama actions and what the other responses (from sa actors) and that's how i followed the conversation adawise...

LM
20 Nov 2007 01:03


But guys seeing that uChris is from mosamawatle, would he have understood what tripe is????I stand to be corrected...is tripe an international organ 'name'????

Xhosa Chick
20 Nov 2007 03:31

Hayi nam Shuga, i couldnt hear a word Chris was saying. I was like, HUH? I even leaned forward, put the volume up a few notches, but with no success.

Xhosa Chick
20 Nov 2007 03:36

"cows' stomach"?
Guys, last night's episode was a complete embarrasement for me. Im suprised the entire cast and crew seemed to so proud of themselves

Xhosa Chick
20 Nov 2007 03:42

LOL!!! Just read all ya'll replies. So I gather NO ONE understood what Chris Brown was saying last night! Glad Im not alone

Msoe
20 Nov 2007 03:53

Hhayi guys, mna bendimuzwa u-Chris. The only thig ebashayile kwi-Generations is the script and the whole setting it was just not good enough. And i agree, Chris's acting sucks, hope he is not planning to go to Hollywood. As for Karabo's dress.............mmmnnnnhhh

Sam2say
20 Nov 2007 03:54

You know o bua nnete, I was watching and heard Mashaba going on and on, basicall he was over acting with made him probably look like an amature in acting in front of Cris, le yena Chis's acting skills suck hey, hai Generations sometimes mara....nooh!!

Lex
20 Nov 2007 04:19

Nna I was appaled at the 'sudden lack of acting skill' as shown by Kenneth,he is normally a good actor but last nite he seemed star struck,WTF?

All I am saying is at least Chris Brown appeared as a cameo (or whatever they call it), as for the actors tsa the best soapie in South Africa tsone *SMH*. I wouldn’t be surprised if Chris was LHFAO at the acting! I am sure le the director was scared to tell him that he was inaudible. Gen actors are usually shocking, but yesterday the excelled in their lack of acting skills.

Hlazo!!!!!!!!

Lex
20 Nov 2007 05:23

Baby A,which cut and paste?I wasnt really paying attention last nite.

Jordan
20 Nov 2007 05:33

<<<And that part where Chris went out of his way "just" to greet Grace, is that leading to something or was it put nje just to fill the 22 minutes? I wonder....>>>
Heeee, to think she was supposed to fetch her books and leave before Kenneth saw her. Hawu Madoda!!!  After that she tells her dad gore she doesn't think Kenneth saw her. WTF????


Coming to SA must have been traumatic for Chris. The Khanyi Mbau incident and the stint on Gen. Shem... poor boy!!

Baby-A
20 Nov 2007 05:38

@Lex  the pre-recorded scenes with Chris Brown were cut and pasted on there. One second Grace is going to Mashabe Media to collect books, the next she's relaxing & Chris Brown even notices her. And he is racist!!!! why only pay attention to the coloured girl???
Anyway, one minute Samuel is going to Cape Town, the next he's serving Chris Brown like his sister was not in an accident.

That is the cut-and-paste.

Lex
20 Nov 2007 05:46

@ Baby A - oh ok,thanx.

20 Nov 2007 05:51

he banna! chris wa batho now is a racist? lol

ok guys i cudn't get why they were all oh-so-star-struck. but then again i only found out from my lil sister last night, exactly what the boy sings. i had no idea before this that he sang that song with umbrella lady. so all along i thot he was someone big i was just too ignorant to know. but honestly speaking they all went on like he was michael jackson/beyonce/madonnna and the like.

He he he , u Chris Brown wabantu, I thought he was White until I saw him last week on Gens adverts, I didn't watch the soap yesterday, but will watch with my volume very load to hear what he's saying.

Xhosa Chick
20 Nov 2007 06:52

Chris Brown is coloured. Which makes him Black in American standards. and guys, fine he went to Grace, but ke, who else ebezofanelana naye? Khethiwe?

20 Nov 2007 07:00

yho!!! on the movie STOMP THE YARD - Chris Brown pitches in for about 5min then he dies - no wonder he was not the leading actor - now i know, shm his accent is very disappointing - though i wonder gore everytime he sings/RECORDS, IF THEY MAKE HIM BE AUDIOBLE - LOL

Mmakwena, did u see indlela amubi ngayo u-Neyo in Stomp the Yard? Heeee heeee heeee! 
And isnt Meagan Goode (the love interest in the movie) tired ngoku of playing THE SAME role over and over????

Kakapana
20 Nov 2007 08:06

thank you XC- u Neyo is ugly without those hats of his (still love his music) that chick u Beauuuutiful (meagan Goode) is such a type cast, she can't do anything else then be a hot babe. atleast kwi stomp the yard she had some brains.

Xhosa Chick
20 Nov 2007 08:54

Really Kakapana? She had brains there?

Kakapana
20 Nov 2007 09:10

maybe with u grace they wanted 2 show us what happened between C.B and Khanyi. he just said hi and she blew the whole thing out of propotion. You must read her (Khanyi) interview kwi True Love Babe-the best mag ever, it's so interesting how all of a sudden the story has changed.

Kakapana
20 Nov 2007 09:13

XC- shame on the poor girl. she was better than kwi "you got served" and all the other movies i've seen her on. With her beauty though it looks a little bit toooo air brushed, ahhh i don't know maybe i'm just being jealous

Kakapana
20 Nov 2007 09:16

i'm sorry that it looks like i'm bombarding the site-this is the only time i get 2 reply, when my boss has left the office. ahhh i'm so happy right now i just won some cash on radio and i've never won anything in my life. God is great ... and you all say "all the time"
