1. One of the biggest moments ever witnessed was the gay kiss that Senzo and Jason shared as it was trending on all sites for days on end. Sibusiso who is a homophobe and Senzo’s father walked in on them as they started kissing and it can almost be guaranteed that all Generations’ viewers were punctual and seated the next day waiting to see Sibusiso’s reaction.

Of course, his reaction was as expected – He looked murderous and brought a traditional weapon with him and even Ntombi could not calm him. He beat both Jason and Senzo severely and Jason had a concussion! It was an amazing time to watch Generations and the online gossip was steamy.
