Observing Vusi and Parsons Fight on Isidingo!

Someone called me and told me that ISIDINGO has implement some of the things I blogged about on my previous article. I then texted them back and said, YOU ARE CRAZY! Anyway, when I was told that Vusi and Parson got into a fight, I wanted to watch.

He is my observation.

Isidingo_2
(The ISIDINGO Boxing Federation presents Parsons Matabane and Vusi "The Prophet" Moletsane in an ultimate championship match to find the truth)

Firstly, Vusi and Parsons should have hit each other bad, I mean hospital bad. Especially given the language they used to get into the fight. There is a lot of pent up energy in that house, some need answers and some are just plain confused. I thought Zeb would be the first one to throw a serious feast at Vusi after he heard the voicemail. But he just was calm as if someone stole his chickens and its no big deal.

The words used by prophet “Vusi” Moletsane when fighting with Parsons were just completely uncalled for. Then I thought he cheated on his wife and kept it quite, the next best thing is to lie about it and use bad words. PS: The subtexts help but I feel we loose so much yet vernacular helps them act better it seems.

Isidingo_3
(Matabane points, Moletsane responses with words....)

The scene was the making of a very good fight but the producers did not capitalize on it. The entire show was just put on hold by Letti’s death and other storylines did not offer any form of entertainment and genius. C’mon Barker being in jail this long when we have been treated to his bad self for years where he gets away with everything and now he sits in jail toiling away. You really think we’re idiots. These producers wants us to believe that this little black Barker off spring will bring down what the show has dubbed the most powerful man, who even Dumisani could not even bring down. He tried but failed. Giving these producers and writers a degree of reason, they may very well be setting us up for an explosive showdown when Barker finds out that his daughter is a snitch. Or knowing ISIDINGO she will gets on catch a flight and run off.

Isidingo_3

And its ON!

Isidingo_6
(This reminds me of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN..... hmmmmm)

Isidingo_5

(Funny enough no one threw a punch... USELESS)

Isidingo_7

Isidingo_8
(As they say, WALLS have EYES and EARS)

What’s up with Paul I know the dude can act but what the hell is it with your wardrobe dude, and your hair style. DISGUSTING…. What exactly are you doing on this show right now. Yes you killed Letti but your lines are pathetic, you a drowning in sorrow. He’s shown us that he was sorry. I should admit that Agnes’s line about what’s wrong with Paul and his sister since they all kill people after driving when they drunk. That was hurtful. I guess when the wheels fall off they really fall off. Paul may leave this show with how things are setup. Personally I think he should go, it’s sad because Paul has a great acting range which is completely under utilized. He could offer us more but it isn’t coming.

A friend asked why didn’t they bring Dumisani even if it was only for the funeral. My answer was that he probably fought with one of the producers because he’s not doing anything substantial and could very well have come to the show. At least as I blogged about, that would have been fun.

The post death crisis is a stage for actors to showcase anger; intelligent arguments; brilliant dialogue and portray pain in more ways than one. Secondly the other cast storylines should very well offer us more than someone being happy because they got a job from a pizza shop delivering pizza’s. Guy’s what’s wrong with these writers. They are hopeless in my opinion.

The most useless characters currently on ISIDINGO
  • Maggie - Being paid to just be a pain in the ass all the time, kept on the show for pity
  • Parson’s girlfriend – Being paid to be in a stagnant relationship, the affair is over….
  • Jess – Being paid to be useless. I doubt asking fellow actors useless questions is a demonstration of your acting abilities.
  • Paul – Being paid to look not gay, but play a gay character, and be confused and confusing all the time
  • Rajesh – Being paid to be in and out of jail and give us confused expressions. Be a complete looser who has millions but can’t save himself even with your intelligence.
  • Calvin – Being paid to sound very colored and be a boyfriend, c’mon. Dude you are more talented than that. I am sure you have some range as an actor
  • Farrow – Being paid to represent, the new poor Afrikaner audience. It’s not like selling jewelry is the most exciting thing, not unless you are also a prostitute on the side and no one knows. It’s not like Len is around.
  • S'Thembiso Shezi – Being paid to show us how corruption works in government. Not that exciting even kids in their first day in primary already know that the South African government is corrupt.

So, I come to the conclusion that the whole writing team of ISIDINGO must be fired with immediate effect because they are useless and they affect badly the careers of some of our loved actors on our favorite soap opera.

I actually stopped watching this hogwash because you can only stand to watch one scene in the whole 30minutes. I am sure there are those people who still enjoy the whole show. I think they are on some special drug or they are just too loyal for their own good. But this here, NEED is lost and flapping like a fish out of the sea. It needs water.

Back to the fight…. Badly executed and needed much more to give us something to get excited about. I find it interesting that although this scene could have reflected exactly how guys like these would fight in real life the producers failed to showcase that. But they don’t mind bombarding viewers with scene upon scene of the complete guide to “what happens when black people loose a family member: death and funerals”. The amount of television time spent on showing all these black rituals and what happens when someone dies was like watching a cultural Public Service Announcement.

Nice Observer.

What’s up with Paul I know the dude can act...
from day 1 on Isidingo I've never experienced his good acting he's just always been dead to me. He's doing a pathetic job being remorseful and guilty over Letti's death I hope he commits suicide or something and leaves Isidingo for greener pastures... off my screen of course.

I think Nandipha is one of those useless characters paid to be around the Matabanes in their time of grief.

The amount of television time spent on showing all these black rituals and what happens when someone dies was like watching a cultural Public Service Announcement. Very true.

the prophet kept on sayin "NGIZOK'SHAYA PARSONS" and i was like "SHAYA PHELA" LOL Niy'thanda kab'ivoilonce Mr-Fixit

I was extremely disappointed with the fight. It was dull.
And as for Parsons' hypocrisy...pleasse dude. 

Great observations as usual observer, especially about the useless cast, I mean really!
Sthembiso, Maggie and Farrow are the worst. Maggie's character died with Ryno.

Interesting obsevations. Great article as well.

Firstly, Vusi and Parsons should have hit each other bad, I mean hospital bad. Especially given the language they used to get into the fight.
Vusi left me speechless when he said: "Buyela kwi sifebe sakho and tell her it's over"........OMG was it neccessary to use the bold word?

Renegade
16 Oct 2008 02:54

Ya Nonny, I also didn't understand why he had to use that word. That was never the impression he seemed to have of Thandi.
And he only really started fighting after Vusi used that word, so one wonders what the fight really was about.

Nice one Observer....yesterday I tried to watch but when I tuned in I was met by Paul crying or drunk or both, so I just made a u-turn to go back to what I was watching b4....

The problem with producers/writers is that they like to drag a story line and also spent more time showcasing/focusing on  the storyline which shows potential or a bit entertaining and forgetting about other characters...they are enable to make all characters interesting (at the same time) in their own right.....hope I make sense

Great article - but... hayi - u hurt my feelings "I come to the conclusion that the whole writing team of ISIDINGO must be fired with immediate effect because they are useless"... I think they are doing a good job if not great... Unlike America where they have plenty money to throw into their production house... SABC 3 and Endemol have put together a great package... 
There are some things that are disappointing about Isidingo but compared to other soapies we have... it's no: 1

Wow great article, but Isidee is still the best soapie, lo0cally and International.

Vusi was just angry and venting out his frustartions, he just said that to hurt Parsons. Come on guys think about what he has been through and feeling guilty about it. 

Thandi really has to go, she's getting itred and boring. Not to mention Dineo

I like Maggie and Stella they are just there for the humour of the soapie.

Wao, am really missing a lot of Isidingo.  Parsons looks better without his dreadlock.  Can someone tell him this for me?

The fight for the dead.

16 Oct 2008 07:07

Parson has no right to judge Vusi..he too cheated .. i think the reason y Zeb was so calm was bcos ma-agbes told him dat he too cheated and he must not act Holy...so wen r the Matebanes moving out of Vusi's place its being long manje.. they should find their own place to stay... i thought Vusi paid lobolla for Neo dat makes him to b his kid....cant talk about Barker sthembiso story cos i cant take it any more....

16 Oct 2008 07:08

Zeb, Parsons and Vusi.... none of them should be pointing fingers at each other because they all cheated on their wives... baya fana

TRUE. Naye he shouldnt blame Paul... I mean Lettie was standing in the middle of the road because she was talking to him and angry futhi, so he should take the blame as well.

People I missed out on the Fighting episode, but will make sure I watch the omnibus. Nice article Observer makes feel guilty for not watching these past few days

But then Vusi was not having i-affair with Ziyanda when Letti passed on, I mean the guy loved uLetti and her son so much. Mina I feel SORRY for the poor Vusi. As for Parsons he has no right to judge uVusi coz naye he cheated on Nandipha. 

WELL DONE OBSERVER

haaibo and there i thought Segololo wrote this,

Parsons those who live in glass houses dont throw stones..Its a pity Vusi's wife had to die because of his infedility but wena?? have you forgotten what you did to Nandipha?? or is it because she doesnt have a big brother to hit you??

Great recap observer, but Isidingo is not that bad man compared to Generations..

Great article Observer....but I disagree. I think Isidingo is better that Generations, Rhythm City, Sewende Laan.....and the whole lot.

Vusi's wife did not die because of his infedility Cande???? If I'm talking to you on the phone, and I absent-mindedly walk on the road, only to be hit by an oncoming car....did I die because of you??? No....

I'll be glued to my screen ka Sunday.

SOORY
IZDING IZ BETTER  MUUUUUUUUUCH BETTER..
of course you'll have annoyng charecters, lazy charecters, some with no story (AT THE MOMENT)  and also "soapie's by their nature drift from focusing on one group/couple//family to another over time and then drag the story along and that makes a better viewing than a scattered story like in Genrabish  where they are tryin to satistfy every eployed actor there even if the person is given some stupid storyline........( Imust admit thought the Rajesh/Barker shinding is gettin tired...ENOUGh ALREADY....

BUt THANKS for your obvsevious RECAP  espesh your bright and clear PICs...i hope you keep on recapin...

16 Oct 2008 13:18

Tshd21...i agree with Cande if it wasnt for Vusi'z infedility then Letti wud have neva been on that road and standing in the middle of it nogal...so Vusi is the cause of Letti's death and he shudnt be blaming Paul..

Segololo
16 Oct 2008 13:24

<,Vusi's wife did not die because of his infedility Cande???? If I'm talking to you on the phone, and I absent-mindedly walk on the road, only to be hit by an oncoming car....did I die because of you??? No.... >> I agree with Cande and disagree with u Tshd21... Would she have been absent-minded if she was not talking to him on the phone about his infidelity? Would she have absent-mindedly walked onto the road if she was NOT upset by his infidelity? would she have NOT been upset if he had been faithful? No. she would have been home cookig for him with a smile.. Vusi killed his wife, well is partly to blame for the death..

17 Oct 2008 03:27

Did Gay Paul not have his car lights on for him not to see a car parked on the road to have made him hit Letti?  This storyline is childish.  His sister killed someone while driving and now Gay Paul.  What a storyline.

Nandipha drove Parsons into Thandi's hands

What or who drove Vusi into Siyanda's hands?

And Zeb too, what made him to run into Refiloe's hands?

Is Ma Agnes innocent too?

<<parsons cannot fight, apparently he grew up in surbubs, >> He(Parsons the character not Tshepo) grew up in Thaba Nchu...  <<uvusi ngowase lokshini>> Vusi (the character) grew up in KZN
