Generation the legacy’s pornography

Generation the legacy is one of the well-known soapies in South Africa previously known as Generations. This soapie is playing weekdays at 20h00 prime slot where amongst people watching is families.

Recently this soapie’s viewership has decreased drastically resulting in the pornography portrayed in it. We all come from different homes with different rules, for some it is seen as being disrespectful watching shows with sexual content whether it’s people kissing, touching or having sex. Nowadays young people are not comfortable to can sit and watch with their parents or elderly people.

The roles played by Moopi Mothibeli(Smanga), Latoya Makhene( Tshidi) and Motsoaledi Setumo( Thabi) who are caught up in a love triangle where Smanga is having sexual relationships with these two. This however doesn’t have any educational lesson but rather encourages children(teenagers) to can engage in sexual activities because these scenes look appealing and pleasing. They may be tempted to try them out.

For some people this can be very traumatising especially to those who are sexually active. This soapie went from being one of the most respected with lots of viewers but now it’s not respected by many. Its explicit scenes has caused its viewers to can question Mfundi Vundla’s intention. Whether is it to educate, inform, entertain or corrupt children?

From here where to? this is the question many people ask themselves, should it continue to play at its usual slot or be moved to a later slot where there’s less viewers.
