GENERATIONS FOR best SOAP @ SAFTAS. Haters may argue and say whatever the numbers don't lie. You say Isidingo was messed up by the cricket - why was Generations not messed up by the AFCON they even moved it to SABC 2. We always make excuses for Isidingo, why? Is it because it's written by white people, and we always want to put black people down. Let's just admit, Gnerations rock, Isidingo sucks - especially now that Nikiwe story with pregnancy she's no teenager, she's pregnant doesn't have a disease.

Amen! No hate! #bitch please

Thats so racist @05415. Gen. moved to sabc2 in its original 8pm timeslot, isidingo ws played at 9:30pm, anyway to each there own.

@Paul lucio - its not racist, even black viewers always like to put Generations down even when it's doing good. Not to mention the SAFTA judges who will give Isidingo awards even when two people watch it. Truth is truth, numbers don't lie. People had a choice to watch soccer but they still followed Generations - why? You say it was still at it's own slot, ye, it was but on a different channle whilst a biggest African tournament in football is happenong but they ARs still beat that. But no, people will always put Generations down. It's a venedetta that black people always have against each other, a mind that is colonised so many times and for too long, they will always see a white thing to be the BEST even when it's not. It gets proven in our society over and over again. We all know this. People are quick to criticise Generations if the story sucks but when Isidingo story sucks they make all excuses for them. Why? Colonised mind. I know you will all deny this but it is true... deep down ypou know. You'd rather put down a black creaation than a white one. And I'm talking about black people too. So nothing racist about that, it's a scurge that we need to eradicate and teach our children better

As i said people hav their own choices, i may hav defended isidingo bt i did not put Gen. down in any way and nt evry1 watchs sport. Evrythg dsnt need to b racialised.

I love soapies I even watch 7 de Laan sometimes though I don't understand a word they're saying at times but I can't stand Isidingo even if I was paid to watch it I wouldn't, YAA BORA!!! Le Inkaba e betere. They should have done us all a favour by canning it when their studios burned down.
