Homophobes are set to do the BBM dance when Generations gives in to top-bottom pressure. Generations was told in no uncertain terms to stop their gayscapades.
It isn’t only homophobic members of the general public who want an end to the so called Senzo and Jason gay escapades on the popular soapie Generations. I have it on high record Minister of Communications Dina Pule has allegedly instructed Generations, through the SABC board and management that she wants to see an end to the Senzo/Jason gayscapades.
Senzo and Jason are two young advertising executives on the glamorous world of Generations. After a passionate kiss between the two guys, they subsequently fell in love. When Senzo’s father, Ngamla Dlomo finds out about it, he is utterly dismayed. One day he finds the two in his bedroom about to have sex and he quickly fetches his sjambok to beat the gayness out of them.
The story has caused a major uproar from Gauteng all the way to the Western Cape with viewers demanding Generations does away with the story. But the soapie stuck to its guns, refusing to succumb to public pressure insisting they want South Africans to start talking about the uncomfortable topic of homosexually. The story has received a lot of coverage across media platforms.
As the storyline progressed, Ngamla got to make peace and accepted his son for who he is. After the initial drama, Senzo and Jason got married in a highly dramatic fashion in a bid to piss off Senzo’s baby mama, Noluntu. The two are currently happily married, so to speak.
A well-placed source within the Generations corridors says: “There was an instruction from the top-top that the gay storyline must no longer be told,” says my source. “Who is the top-top? Is it the board?” I probed. “No, the top-top from the main top, Minister Pule,” said my deep throat.
“The Minister feels the gay storyline has ‘served its purpose’ and that it drives young people to be like Senzo and Jason even though, she argues, they wouldn’t normally be gay but what they see on TV encourages them to engage in homosexual relationships,” alleges my source.
“But I am under the impression that South Africa is the embodiment of gay rights and freedom of expression and or artistic creativity when it comes to freedom and its true meaning. This doesn’t make sense, are you really sure about this?” I asked my source. “Everyone in our corridors knows the Minister issued this instruction,” answered the source. “So this means we are bidding farewell to the gay story on Generations. It is an instruction from the top to the bottom.”
