Good Bye Generations

Written by Cheesa from the blog Cheesa Chat on 22 Jul 2011
Favourite this post


It is seems like its now becoming a norm to see Generations actors leave these days. They leave one by one following each other. Viewers are happy to see other actors leave and they are sad to see others leave. It gets more shocking when actors who’ve been with the soapie for too long leave. 

Here are Generations actors who have left the soapie recently and those who are soon going to disappear on our screens. 

Kagiso Rakosa (Sharon) is also leaving the soapie. They didn’t renew her contract. So her character was written off. Let’s hope it won’t be the last time we see her on our screens. She is still young there’s a lot she can do in the acting industry.

It might be a blessing indisguise having to leave the soapie early in her career as soapie actors get to be seen as like they won’t be able to act another character once they’ve played the soapie character for too long.

We know soapies give actors a stable salary but I think she must also try dramas maybe, Zone14. I think she can be good there. 


Thabiso Mokheti (Sam) is also leaving with Kagiso. They acted as a young married couple on Generations. They are both written off by Generations writers. I guess they couldn’t develop their story line, and honestly it was boring shem. So I’m not really sad. 

Dumisani Mbebe seems like he has left the soapie already after I have seen this week that Dumisani the character has resigned at Ezweni and disappeared with no one knowing where he is. 

Some people believe that this guy is a bad actor but I think he is good. It’s just that his character was boring.

Apparently he got fired because he would pitch up late for shoots and smelling of alcohol. Some actors were complaining and all. 

Well we leant earlier this year that Seputla Sebogodi is leaving Generations after many rumours last year about him leaving the soapie. He brushed out all those rumours last year saying he is not leaving Generations.

But he finally announced it sometime in March or April that he is leaving Generations. He has lost a lot of weight too and its getting worse everyday. His suits on Generations are getting bigger and bigger everyday.

I think Generations wardrobe should order him a smaller size than the one they used to order for him.

We wish Seputla all the best for his future endeavors, like his Gospel singing career O_o. We’ll def miss Kenneth on our screens. 

Late last year Connie Ferguson left Generations, which was a big thing in South Africa more close to Oprah’s retiring. She joined a new soapie called The Wild. 

Not so long ago it was reported that she was seen having talks with Generations creator, Mfundi Vundla and visited Generations set saying she’s coming back to the soapie. 

Well we still don’t know if the rumour is true time will tell. 

Sipho Ngwenya also left Generations after he played the character of Ajax for about 5 years. Ajax became one of those boring characters shem as time went on. I guess Sipho also got bored playing Ajax and decided to quit.

Sipho is a good actor must say. I think now he is more busy with music. Well we wish him all the best in that. 



Delisile Malinga (Sara) also left Generation after it was said that Generations people realized that she can’t act and she had some diva tendencies. So they got rid of her. 

But she recently made a lil appearance coming from KZN to fight for her man Khaphela. We don’t know if we will continue seeing her. 

Siyabonga Twala also left Generations. They killed his character, Paul. Well I won't say meaning there’s no chance of seeing him come back because we saw Tau rising from the dead. 

So lemme rather say he might come back, as Generations is our Days of Our Lives.

So are you missing those who’ve left? Are you going to miss those who are later going to disappear in our screens? What can you say about the characters they played? Who else do you think should leave? (plz don't say the whole cast guys, I know you will)

I know we have been singing the song ya gore the generations story line leaves a helluva lot to be desired, but it never got to me much. I watch it i dont watch it gwa tshwana. BUT the way Dumisani exited was juust so ridiculous i couldnt help but make a tiny noise. That story line could have been even more believable if HE had quit..not to be fired with such a lousy motivation..lol. haai....whatever otherwise.

I loved the old Shaz that was tjatjarag not the boring married Shaz now.
Samuel has always been a bore to me, wherever he goes now he must just get rid of that plaited hair.

Well Generations can still survive without Samuel and Shaz, i just dont get the reason why they are busy sending off many actors at once...this aint cool!

When is Queen leaving?
When is Khaphela leaving?
When is Mateo leaving?

The General
22 Jul 2011 12:03

I think the day Khethiwe leaves viewers will celebrate. I think Dineo should also leave, there's nothing interesting about her anymore, she's now a one-dimensional character. Dlomo is just as boring these days. I think most of the actors are bored with Generations, it's just they don't want to leave cause of the income stability. I read somewhere that the top actors on Gen get paid R50 000-R80 000 a month. Even if I was getting paid that much, I wouldn't mind being on the most boring soapie on tv lol...

The General
22 Jul 2011 12:07

Forgot about Queen, she expired long time ago, I can't think of any storyline to keep her interesting...

I don't really care about whether Sam and wifey are leaving. For me, their characters have no meaning and are not totally used to educate the public about the challenges that young married couples face in their marriages.

I will miss Sharon for really, i like her. maybe they didn't renew her contract because of her new style maybe its doeen't suit Generation style since they are too modern. Shame Shaz

I thank the Generations staff for getting rid of them if they can't bring anything to the table. I am not sadden by these two like I was when Zamani and lil brother left. Now Senzo must leave! Well I barely watch the show or maybe that's when I'll be a loyal viewer when they leave! I'm only upset of the Dumisani departure!

22 Jul 2011 15:38

Sara...DIVA...mhhh

I also thought there were going to write something interesting about the firing of Dumisani. They were supposed to have uncovered Dumi hiding the truth about the results of that lie detector and also the one on one sessions with Nicolas. Show that perhaps he had a hidden agenda against Jason, and thus destroying the image of the organisation in the process. Not some stupid argument, surely if pple would get fired for arguing with bosses, no-one will be working by now.

Shaz, i like her personally but her story lines have never been interesting. Sam, they can write a better story line for him, he can stay. Why dont they send Shaz & Matt to mama Puleng. I dont like Matthew.

Cheesa
22 Jul 2011 15:44

I loved the old Shaz that was tjatjarag not the boring married Shaz now. True yazi she became more boring when she got married with a kid and all that. Maybe they should have made her ajole le Kenneth.

Kante what do we mean interesting characters?  Honestly I dont how to answer this question but just something not boring yazi. They need to be creative right now they aren't creative enough. 

Yeah General even though the actors might not be saying it now but some of them must be tired and bored playing those boring storylines but what can they say they want income. 

maybe they didn't renew her contract because of her new style maybe its doeen't suit Generation style since they are too modern. LOL titidi but Generations tells their actors what to do with their hair. Actors have to consult those in powers first if they want to change their hairstyle. So they might have agreed for her to cut her hair or it might have even them who told her to cut it for Sharon's new look. 

Maybe we should look forward to some drastic changes on Generations. Maybe they should have a make over to spice up things like a new set and new actors etc.

Oh btw I didnt like Samuel at all he was so boring I have never seen a husband even a man who behaves like a Grade R pupil. He was so so so boring. I really dont mind them writing him off. I just feel sorry for the actor. I dont think they should have chopped Kagiso. They should have kept her.

GOOD RIDDANCE!! All these people have overstayed they welcum, some of them are the reason i stopped watching generations!!

Cheesa..... Even if they cast new characters, with their boring story lines, we will be subjected to pure torture. 

I will miss Kenny & Dumi... They can bring Kenny when he is done with the diet okwangokhu eish.

When these characters are introduced kuba mnandi but after 4 months, yhu,. I loved Ms Dikobe when she came on set but now she sings and walks around the Sheebeen, boring indeed.

Queen is ok, being such a blonde.

Dineo imitating Brooke Logan of the BnB, hhayini Mfundi. Dineo's character is booring, that is why pple get attacked its becoz of these stupid story lines. How can she fall for Mazzi all over again.

Scandal and Isisdingo write people out but no one complains. Why persecute Generations? Have you ever thought that Dumisani was so much trouble he was foired on the spot, there was not even time to write him out? Just a thought - think before you blame the writers and producers. Actors are also trouble themselves. When Karabo left people said they will stop watching Generations but that time it has 5 million viewership, now it's on 7 million - guess you guys are all liarss because the ARs prove that.

22 Jul 2011 20:11

here's an idea...simply fire the whole lot and cast new pple.silly plotlines with even sillier actors!uurgh

22 Jul 2011 22:12

@ Biggiesmalls, honey, they had him to act the dumb firing scene! They should have used that for a good story line. As a creative you must be ready for anything!!! If they didn't have time for him to act out a story line, accidents happen. Maybe that guy that ran Jason over could have had a collision with dumisani when he ran off? That could have been better. As factual as the AR's are, they are not a true representation of the viewers feelings and opinions. Millions of SA citizens have no pay tv, which means they are subjected to the public broadcaster and of course etv. During generations, you will find that on other channels there is no interesting programmes. So in essence Generations has no competition. Try putting Isidingo, Scandal, etc during generations and watch the AR's Sad as it may,Generations has become too unrealistic, even too white if you may. None of the story lines are true to real life, even Days of Our lives is doing better. I recommend firing the head writer, getting new writes all together. Appointing a continuity producer and a researcher.
