The long-running South African soapie Generations: The Legacy is back in the headlines for the wrong reasons after a clip was shared online.
The SABC1 show is known for occasionally changing its cast and storylines to keep viewers glued to the small screen. Despite this, Generations: The Legacy often finds itself trending for the wrong reasons, such as the bad acting skills of its cast. Now, the long-running soapie is a topic of discussion over its set, which left South Africans on social media in stitches.
Generations: The Legacy teases graveyard scene
On Wednesday, 22 October 2025, Generations: The Legacy shared a teaser of an upcoming episode on X. The clip shows Ntando, who is on a quest to know the identity of his father, with Ausi Nokwazi Lukhozi (played by veteran actress Tinah Mnumzana), in a cemetery.
In the clip, Ntando is kneeling before the grave of someone whom Ausi Nokwazi told him was his father. While he’s still paying his respects, a woman interrupts them and asks what Ntando and Ausi Nokwazi are doing at her husband’s grave.

Mzansi roasts Generations: The Legacy over graveyard scene
In the comments, several netizens noticed that the scene was shot indoors, and a door in the background. Several social media users criticised the Generations: The Legacy production team for not putting in enough effort, with some calling for it to be cancelled, similar to Muvhango.
Here are some of the comments:
@ManqobaMbuli_ said:
“This is shameful and disrespectful to the people who signed up for this sies.”
@Daddy_waKhanya suggested:
“Generations has been there since the 90s, but nothing has been learnt. There is CGI, green screens, and a little investment in in-location scenes. Just a little more to be seen realistically. Just a little more. 🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾 just!”
@kurisani_m highlighted:
“It’s disappointing to see how little effort is being put in lately. When you start taking your audience for granted, a decline in engagement is inevitable.”
@SoLanga6661 suggested:
“Nah, it's enough now, we must have other people who can write and produce better stories, like what do you mean this is a graveyard 😭💔”
@dinnydeethulo joked:
“Forget streaming. Is that the door to heaven 🥹🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭😭ohhh Mfundi my guy😫😫😫😫”
@Tebelelo_Lico advised:
“A good dancer knows when to leave the stage. Wrap it up, you are not taking the viewers seriously.”

“Background looks like Takalane Sesame.”
