Generations: The Legacy’s Mazwi Moroka played by Musa Ngema has finally been laid to rest. Ngema’s character was recently written off from the show. He met his end in the world of the story as he was killed when he saved his cousin Paul from his kidnapping.
During the funeral arrangements, the cast of the show saw the return of one of the soapie’s most beloved couple, Karabo and Tau, played by Connie Ferguson and Rapulana Seiphemo.
Ngema was reportedly fired from the show after becoming ‘difficult.’
A source told Zimoja, “Troubles started when he was told to work on his pronunciation and stop stuttering when talking. He was offended and allegedly started having a bad attitude. "
The sources added that “When they tried showing him his weaknesses, he would be angry, "said the mole. ZiMoja has learnt that his character will be killed.”
Ngema did not offer a comment on these starling allegations, however, he bid viewers of the show farewell.
“The end of an era. It's been an incredible run playing #Mazwi on #generationsthelegacy. Thank you to the cast, crew, and the viewers for making it all worth it,” he posted.
After the announcement that he would be returning to Generations with Connie Ferguson, Rapulana Seiphemo told Kaya 959’s Breakfast Show with Dineo Ranaka and Sol Phendula that he has a good working relationship with Connie Ferguson.
“There is something about the connection that Rapulana Seiphemo and Connie Ferguson have that is quite special and it was built over the years when we were working on Generations. The chemistry is now automatic because we know and respect each other.”
He also noted that because of hard work, he’s been able to stay relevant for all these years.
“The reason why I have staying power is that I went to school. I didn’t ask for favours. I remember my grandmother used to ask me ‘When am I finishing school? Your mother is waiting for you to bring the paycheck home.
“I did a degree and went on to do my Master’s. I did all those things until I was ready to get on stage,” the actor told the station.
