Kenneth and Dineo Mashaba are SAFTA winners for Generations
Filed Under (The Show) by Ron | Post has 596 views

The fourth annual South African Film and Television Academy (SAFTA) Awards took place on Saturday, 20 February 2010 at the State Theatre in Pretoria. Generations managed to walk away with two awards in the Soapie category. Our Soapie won The Best Actor and Best Actress awards as they went to Seputla Sebogodi (Kenneth Mashaba) and Katlego Danke (Dineo Mashaba) respectively. This was a great achievement for Our Soapie.

We did however miss out on the big one, the Best Soapie award which went to 7de Laan. That result came as a surprise to me as I really thought Generations would winner especially since the winner of the Best Soapie is decided by us the fans as we have to cast votes. Clearly we did not all vote for Our Soapie or else we would have won.

Another surprise for me was that Lulu Nxozi who played the role of Belinda on Generations was one of the nominations for the Best Supporting Actress in a Soapie. Personally, I do not think she was that great an actress on Generations. Ma Ruby came onto the show far too late to be nominated for these awards but even with her short stint on Generations, I feel she should have been nominated ahead of Belinda. But I am sure Ma Ruby is going to pick up a lot of awards if she stays on Generations.

The results of the 2010 SAFTA’s in full for the Soapie category were:

As much as I love Gen Dineo Mashaba is not a good actress

Generation have super talented Actresses, as for Dineo to win Best Actress she is average compare to some of her co-workers , i dont know i think someone else deserve that award…

Amen Tofresh

RON, I TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU. I BELIEVE THAT Belinda is just an average actress.
@ Dee I strongly disagree with you because Dineo deserves that award as she is very talented. The gal plays her role so convincingly unlike the others.
I honestly believe that Dineo is one of the best actress we have in gene…..

Firstly i am so dissapointed in these,i thought generation will win “the best soapie” but it didnt,ok.Then Dineo?how on earth….i knw shes talented but there are many talented actresses than her on generations or those she was nominated with.Anyway congradulations to generations and Kenneth mashaba.


Tofresh on 24 February, 2010 at 2:50 pm

kgomotso you are on point,
We all know that Kenneth Mashaba is the BEST in the country and SAFTA judges are telling us that we dont have talent as a country that is why Dineo won, SHAME
