I just read some disturbing news here. They are saying that we may no longer see Generations on our screens very soon! Apparently the SABC can’t find the money to pay its outstanding bills for programmes which have already been delivered to the broadcaster. “South Africa’s most popular daily soap opera, Generations has debt of R9million. The last new episodes of Generations will be shown at the start of June, with no new episodes to follow,” says the article. The producers refuse to provide the SABC with any new video material until the broadcaster pays the outstanding debts

This is not the first time I have heard this and it looks like this is quite serious. What will be do without Our Soapie? The SABC has to make a plan soon so they can pay the producers of the shows. It is not only Generations that is being affected but other soapies such as 7de Laan and Isidingo could also be off the air soon!

modikwa on 25 May, 2009 at 11:21 am

yeah!!!


Pajero on 25 May, 2009 at 11:40 am

I think its about time (SA’s) that we have change of interest and to accept it. I know change its a very scary thing but it will mean different atmosphere and diff taste. This will enable other script writers to have a change in life of drama and I know Mfundi has make his mark and left his legacy to you and i, and also we (people) need to express our (their) talents than to depend on one person. People! good things (and people) they come and go and vice versa!


Maqz on 25 May, 2009 at 11:41 am

thabo dont give us heartattacks…..u will kill us


Fix on 25 May, 2009 at 12:02 pm

I’m kind of hoping that this isn’t true maybe they r jst trying 2 find out how big is our love 4 Gen.


stho on 25 May, 2009 at 12:13 pm

I also heard the same same thing Thabo, even Muvhango is also gonna be off but we can help it if only we can pay our TV licences like we are been asked to do so - so Gens Bloggers go out there and tell everyone to rush to their supermarkets, postoffices to have their tv licences paid that will save us our soapies.


betty on 25 May, 2009 at 12:23 pm

so wat can we do…2 help also…am a big fan..n u wont bliv wer am from.Botswana


Lindi on 25 May, 2009 at 12:54 pm

don’t believe this its not true.


Khocy on 25 May, 2009 at 2:51 pm

Run out of words abt gens


Praise on 25 May, 2009 at 2:55 pm

I NEARLY FAINTED FOR THIS BAD NEWS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GENERATION MR S AND KARABO WILL NOT HAVE JOBS ANYMOORE


Mfundi on 25 May, 2009 at 3:18 pm

We can help only by paying our tv licences


modikwa on 25 May, 2009 at 3:32 pm

its not only via generations that they turn to put food on their tables!!


Thulie on 25 May, 2009 at 4:40 pm

olivia on 26 May, 2009 at 11:32 am

So then what will we call it?


shawanda on 26 May, 2009 at 12:08 pm

We will call it “Dont Kill our Generation(s) Walk” as in this generation will be finished without Generations. Lol


Lindi on 26 May, 2009 at 12:23 pm

Maybe they will bring onother nice one.


olivia on 26 May, 2009 at 12:38 pm

Even if they bring another nice one Lindi, twill never replace generations, we luv it.


shawanda on 26 May, 2009 at 1:03 pm

we dont want anything else - Its Generations or NOTHING!! they may as well repeat Gens from the beginning rather than bring something new!!! :-(


Ndina on 26 May, 2009 at 2:04 pm

Good one Shawanda, perharps they can show us the episodes which they have already paid for, right from the begining …..


shawanda on 26 May, 2009 at 2:19 pm
