South Africans recently dragged SABC1's popular soapie Generations: The Legacy's characters Fikile and Jack, played by Refilwe Madumo and Vusi Kunene.

The popular soapie, which was created by Mfundi Vundla, failed to impress social media users online.

Actress Refilwe Madumo's character, Fikile, surprised fans of the show this week when she proposed to her boyfriend, Jack Mabaso, played by Vusi Kunene.

Social media user @shwabada shared a clip on his X account of Fikile popping the question.

"Naaaaah, what’s the whole point of this scene?" he asked.

In the video, Fikile is seen asking her boyfriend, Jack, to marry him.

Generations: The Legacy fans react to the scene

@justjuniie said:

"People who still watch Generations deserve this kinda acting."

@tshegofatsomoon wrote:

"Generations really fell off. There's no coming back."

@KasiMait responded:

"Proposal? Jack’s fade? That man ululating? That girl dropped a pregnancy bombshell for what? They're trying to stop her… the acting? So much is happening in this scene, and none of it is good."

@moh_mogau said:

"Generations is not beating the allegations. What's this?"

@Gizelle021696 replied:

"I think they freestyle these scenes. As long as they have 24 minutes worth of dialogue for one episode, they call it a day."

@Andiphile_ wrote:

"Fikile is basically ready for commitment after being skeptical for a long time, but then Swazi comes in and delivers news that will confuse her and make her question her decision. That's probably the point."

@M3ta_crow responded:

"Netflix slop got you guys thinking this banger scene is horrible."

"I hadn't watched Generations for God knows how long, I tuned in and this is what I came across."

@simphiwe_n54295 reacted:

"This is an intelligently beautiful scene, although I only recognize the Jack Mabaso character here. Anyone who sees the bad in this is mad."

@MellowStardust responded:

"Is that Mbali?! She’s pregnant with whose child?"

@TiroMphothe said:

"Please ask Mvundla to give you a few episodes to direct. Recommend to him a few good writers too, cause what is this?"
