Kwaaaa at Kenneth Mashaba exit rubbish

Local soapie Generations is proving once again that it is the unrivalled king of mediocrity when it comes to writing lazy stories on South African television. As reported earlier this year, Seputla Sebogodi who plays Kenneth Mashaba has left the show and we are now watching his final moments on Generubbish.

Kenneth

It seems his heart situation is the best that lazy behinds at South Africa's most watched show could come up with. Makisto can today report that next week we are saying goodbye to Kenneth as last night we have seen his heart disappointing him again. Makisto can also report that Kenneth is set to appoint his son Thomas Mashaba as the owner of Mashaba Media as he goes on holiday and leaving the country for good. 

*Yawns*
This is mediocrity at its best. I have never seen such a mediocre storyline in my entire life! Tjeer man. What happened to rivetting viewing and writing out a character in a way that will best serve the show and even see the show attracting 10 million viewers? All the storyliners and writers as well as lazy producers at Generubish deserve to be fired with immediate effect. I cannot believe we are being fed such a boring story. I'm mean really now?

Ok, I know you are asking yourself why I am so disappointed, harsh and vocal about it though I am not a soapie writer. Firstly, Generations is capable of writing great stories and they are just too lazy to think.

This is what will fit Kenneth's exit
We acknowledge that Kenneth must be brought to book and agree with how some of the characters on the show are ganging up on him.

Kenny lol

We all know Kenneth is a mean bastard who will kill without thinking twice to get his way. He has done the most outrageous things and killed innocent people to get his way. 

He once killed truck drivers who were delivering Ezweni Communications magazines in Johannesburg. We all  know the best slut on the block Dineo Mashaba has in the past, with Ace's help, tried to kill Kenneth but it never worked. We all know Sbuda still hopes to get his Afri-Media back some day.

When writing out a character, writers need to pull their files and use the best storylines they did to write him out. The storylines mentioned above are the kind of things that could have worked FOR the show.

Imagine Sbuda is busy trying to rein Kenneth Mashaba in and Kenny finds out about it and they stop with their silly heart attack. Kenneth plots to fight back and enlists the help of his son who is swinging for both Mashaba and Ezweni teams. Imagine Thomas gets greedy and wants to own Mashaba media.

Imagine Kenneth finds out about Dineo and Ace's food poisoning gig. He is furious and wants to kill them with his bare hands and he hires people to kidnap them so he can kill them himself. During their kindapping gig, Kenny confesses to have hired magosha to drug Paul and Dinny is devastated.

Kenny Scene

Imagine Sbuda wants his Afri-Media back and he and Kenneth are in a confrontation and Sbuda, in a fit of rage, goes back to his old thuggish ways. Yeah we know he has changed but that side of people resurfaces every once in a while when they are pushed too far. Let's say the two enter a game of cat and mouse.

Meanwhile, the kidnapped Dinny and Ace manage to escape their detention room and Ace contacts his buddies to help him elimante Kenneth for good. Sbu hears Kenneth has hired people to kill him (Sbuda) because he doesn't wanna lose Afri-Media. Sbuda starts walking around with his gun in his jacket. 

One day, Kenneth's henchmen go to Sbuda's house to kill him but only Christy and the child minder are there. The coumaflaged men enter the house  and Ntombi and Sbu are not there. They search around and turn everything upside down and they accidentally push Christi in her pram and she falls on the floor. She sustains severe head injuries.

Yes this aint a movie but Generations has never shied away from action with PG 16.

Kenny Shimrell

Sbuda is raging with fury and he cannot be consoled. Ntombi is devastated and threatening to divorce Sbu because she has always believed he will never go back to his old ways. 

Meanwhile, Thomas sees that his dad is winning against his enemies and really wants Mashaba Media. He plots to murder his dad so he can own the comapany. Huh? But Thomas aint a killer? Yeah right. Like father like son, remember? An apple doesn't fall far from the tree, remember? Good! In what could be a dramatic irony, he and dad are all happy father and son and plans to kill dad while fast asleep and frame Sbuda for it.

Sbu is utterly furious and wants to kill Kenny, Dineo and Ace are on their way to kill Kenny, Thomas gathers his courage to kill rich bad dad. 

Dinny

In the middle of the night in Kenny's room, a gun goes off. Kenny is shot but not dead. He has a bullet in his head and must be operated to be removed. The best medics and therapy are in London and Grace hears about it and comes home to do one good thing she can for Kenny, after all, he is her dad, no matter what.

It appears Grace has inherited all Mashaba millions and businesses since Kenny is incapacitated and she hands over the businesses to Thomas to carry on with the Mashaba leagacy.

Menzi

Everybody gets an ending they like: Viewers get rivetting viewing and writers get an open exit they always wanted.

Whot shot Kenny? Generations can do another big story on that one.

Yawn again, this time at Khaphela
Yazi mna shem I am not a soapie writer or anything but I am professional TV critic. But that villainous Khaphela that's happening overnight aint true. I will admit to have missed a number of Gen what what episodes in the past couple of weeks. But I need to ask, how did Khaphela turn into a villain overnight?

Khaphela

I know he's a reason to do what he does and he will kill to have a son. But really now! I would have liked to see him with his dire wish for a son and that is 1 point out of 10 to Gen writers. I would have liked to see Khaps struggling with his morals and principles which are in conflict with what he is doing to Khethiwe. I would have liked him to question himself whether two wrongs make a right.

Khethiwe

Khaphela is deeply rooted in traditional values. I would have liked to see him being a villain that they want him to be but acting within his character. What they are doing to Khaphela is called out of character. Yes, even good characters have a nose-picker at some point but they never get out of character.

However, this is too much to ask from a show that is used to being lazy and still expects and gets positive feedback.

I think Mvundla should just hire you sweetheart. What a dramatic piece! So beautiful and so real at least! I was also disappointed with Mashaba’s exit. I mean we are talking about isikhokho not Ajax here. So many people hate Kennet's gut and i thought Dinny was ploting some kind of a huge explosion together with Sbu. 

Tell me I think i saw some guffy gladiator guy in Sbuda's house carrying some cocaine. What was his role again? Why he was there?

I know Keneth is gonna bounce back in the future but they should have done something WOW. 

At some point i even forgot that i was watching Gen.

One would think Gene what what is written scene-by-scene, yazi. They just concentrate on the one scene they working on at the moment and they will see the next one when they get to it. As long as Kenneth falls properly, it doesn't matter whether explaining the fall will make sense tomorrow or whether it links with his stroke past.

They know very well how to do the out-of-character things. Remember how Karabo was almost destroyed leading to her exit?

lol it's true nje

What a dramatic piece! So beautiful and so real at least!
And that is exactly what we would like to see on screen shem. Thank you Myname

But with the Khaphela story line they realy sunk low shame
Mna shem, I agree that they can let Khaphela be a villain, conditional to him being true to his character. The Khaphela I know would have an internal friction about what he is doing and question his actions and probably undo what he is doing.

One would think Gene what what is written scene-by-scene, yazi
I think so too, they never focus on the past which should guide the present and the future

Remember how Karabo was almost destroyed leading to her exit?
Akere I am saying the show is the unrivalled king of mediocrity

All I can say is wow my brother 
lol, thank you i guess

Pity talking about the mess that Generubbish is just so useless and a wate of bandwidth. The writers there are arrogant and they think they are right...they always answer with that line that they still the country's most watched show...they say we complain yet we watch...so they are justified to feed their million viewers mediocrity.

Thanks Maki, now i can vent the anger i felt last night when Kenny was lying on the floor and dying. That man was evil, dont exit him in a way that will make us feel sorry for him. He must atleast be shot by one of his thugs or even Dinny. He is evil until death or exit. I wanted all his sins to be exposed before he left not the stupid quetionnaire on air, nxa,

I dont want Nambitha to be J's mom, i like her but umama ka J usezilalini, let her stay there. 

i dont see anything wrong with Khaphela being a villain, he used to work for Tau and inherited all of Tau's blood money. He knew of all the dealings that Tau was involved in and never complained. Now he is best buddy with Ngamla, what draws him to these powerful not so clean man. He is one of them.

We watch Gen at 20:00 because there is really nothing to watch unless if yu have a DSTV, once there is something worth watching, Vundla will have his writers watching the stupid soapie.
