LMAO at Lillian drinking from a cup....eish MaSebobe!!!

Karabo's acting has improved waaaaaaaaaay too much. She was terrible back then!

KWA KWA KWA KWA KWA at Sis Ribs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Archie seemed the only actor that was comfortable on camera!

Priscilla's outfit?!!!!!! OMW, i have no idea why they insisted on her hiarstyle back then cause she clearly didn't have enough hair to pull that off! Her SeTswana!

Phew, i so enjoyed last night, thanks SABC!

What a contrast! Back then the story line was WOW. 
All the women definitely needed a lipgloss. Look at their lips - what's up wit the cheap red lipstick? Even Karabo's hair looks dry! And Priscilla's oganza - is that it was called neh?
And Busang bathong? He did look like a struggling artist!

Jah those were the days!

But now, they are so stylish but their story line is whack, period! 
I think most of us watch Generations because we don't have a choice. 


P.S. ACE should be given more role. He should be the villain and stop sucking up to a man who tormented him bossffff! I mean who is that nice in real life?

what's up wit the cheap red lipstick?

hahhahaha! The make-up artist was clearly starting out then and only had one colour to use.

Noticed that Thabo Masebe was a driver on Gen back then. How did he move to politics? Spokesperson ebile.

05 Feb 2009 07:43

This is to show how we as south african has improved over the last 15yrs, technology and fashion. Atchie was hadsome with those tight pants and Karabo for the beautifull stunning woman she is now, wow, OMG. Did Connie have a nose job.

Where was Queen, i thought they said yena le karabo were there from the beginning.... saying the character name and seeing the character are two different things..... eish i was imagining her without eyelashes extentions..would have loved to see that.

ROFLMAO!!!! @ the whole episode.

Lilian and drinking from a sacuer absolutely cracked me up!!!!!! she was a good actor, it was her and Archie who looked like they knew what they were doing.

Sentiments echoed on Karabs acting.

Rebekha: undigqibe finish!!!! hahahahahahahaa.

Priscilla's organza: kwakwakwakwakwakwa!!!!!

I cant beleive Nomsa from Yizo Yizo 1 was that young at some stage, its strange.  


Loved it loved it!!!!!!!! cant they put together a Generations box like aboPrison Break with all the episodes, i would buy it, ngeke futhi ngenze ipiracy, ngizoyithenga 9 9.

i was LMAO at ma Sebobe's earing.....thing back then were bad....Vinolia' wig was really off......

where was Faith Seuoe for make up....they needed to trim their eyebrows......


karabo's acting really improved with the years while archie's is dropping along with the loooks. the brother was hot hott back then, mustard pants or not.......

Priscilla's purple top made out of shiffon.....maweeeeeeeeee!

as for that lady from sunlight ad *and what about my washing?*she was so young and beautiful

mara that red and black dot number at Back o the moon lokked more like a nightie to me......

Rebecca was so petite and soberish, if they were to redo that episode, we will have her crawling all over the garden in a pool of crodile tears as if she knew Mrs Moroka

LMAO @ Mr Moroka's "Kiki"---as in gig

the computer behind darchie was off, and he was supposed to be working, since it was working hour.....does that mean he was still computer illiterate???


but other than that big upps to everyone there cause they have improved with time and made a name for themselves and RIP to those who have passed on such as Mam gobozi(that woman is a real beau)

BA, they did mention Queen yesterday, so maybe she came trhu in the 2nd episode


If my memory serves me right Queen showed up in about episode 14. She had just arrived from Italy and was engaged to a Italian prince who was going to pay 100 cows for her lobola and there was a big hupala in Soweto about it. It was around the jam making business between her mother and makhi.

Queen back then was a go getter, man eating vamp. She and her mother plotted for her to get Archie at some stage. The airhead we see now kinda morphed out of nowhere.

Karabo was a pathetic actress. TJO....... I guess there's nothing you can't learn in this world. The nose job did you world of wonders. Yousee peeps, beauty sugery is needed sometimes.

Masebobe and the saucer............ hahahahah!!!!!!!!

Yebonine!!!!!! Kutsiwani nje negliloko laRibs (Anyone noticed Ribs dress/ two piece) and those tiny legs, The same was the small number worn by Archies babes . 

We were treated yesterday and I laughed by A#$@ out till the end of the show, it was interesting kobona kutsi sichamukaphi, cha, kona sisuka kudze impele Hawu. 

Lillian'Makhi' Dube's earings were the best ever even though they were bigger than the ear, wonder if anyone noticed the red earing. 

Wonder if it can be possible for Mfundi to sell the then episods in DVD's it can sell like hot cakes ngiyetsemba futsi.

Eish sometimes it irritates me.ha ha.

In all fairness Generations was huge back then and it was interesting  and when you young your brain kinda holds onto those memories.

Do you remmember that Generations at one stage was syndicated to a Jamaican tv station or some Caribbean Island tv network.

Who ever came up with the idea to show the first episode deserves a medal. Gene back then was so full of promise it's sad how it's just gone in the direction it has.

I was surprised that Cavendish Bank came on board back then. The only other things that have survived in the story are New Horizons, Karabo and Queen.

Sadly for me Connie's acting was pathetic back then and now after 15 years it's just average
