Generations is one of the most famous South African soapies of all time.
It follows the lives of the employees of rival corporations New Horizons (Ezweni Holdings) and Mashaba Advertising (Mashaba Media now with Memela Media} as they make business deals and live with the enemy (As in most of the couples one works for New Horizons and the other for Mashaba). It also focuses on the rivalry of Sibusiso Dlomo and Mawande Memela (previously [[PutOnABus Kenneth Mashaba]]).
!! This Soap Provides Examples Of:
* AffirmativeActionGirl: Mawande Memela, who bought Mashaba Media after Kenneth was framed by Sibusiso and Dineo.
* AttemptedRape: Dineo, by Sello (Sibusiso's executive friend).
* AxCrazy: Belinda.
* BadBadActing: Nicholas and Nolundu in their mini-soap pitch to some executives (Nicholas in particular seemed to be chanelling {{Nollywood}}).
* CelebrityStar: Every time Khethiwe in mentioned in an in-universe news story, it will begin with ‘The Former Face of La Chocolat’
** Ajax before he started acting.
* {{Chickification}}: Sharon, who starts out an independent woman and leaves the show after securing position of Editor and giving it up to go live on a reserve with Samuel.
** Mawande seems to be going down this road after [[spoiler: getting shot by Sibusiso]]. Caleb has taken over the company and the show is making a big deal about him running it better than she ever did.
* ComingOutStory: Senzo with his real father, not with his adoptive family.
* ConvenientMiscarriage: Karabo, which led to her getting divorced from Sibusiso and his getting married to Ntombi.
* DawsonCasting: MJ, whose actor is the same age as his sister Noluntu's.
* DeusAngstMachina: With absolutely no buildup Zamani’s mother (Who we didn’t even know existed at this moment) calls about being sick at the end of one episode, the next she’s dead. Also counts as [[PutOnABus putting Zamani and Ajax on a bus]]. (Right after they argued with [[CreatorsPet Jigga]] as well.)
** Noluntu is revealed to be carrying Senzo's baby despite there being no implication that they slept together after she took advantage of his emotional state.
* DesignStudentsOrgasm: The opening sequence.
* FiveManBand: The younger set:
** TheHero: Jason.
** TheLancer: Senzo, also [[TheChick the co-chick]].
** TheSmartGuy: Akhona
** TheBigGuy: Nicholas.
** TheChick: Nolundu.
** TheSixthRanger: Queen.
* FreudianExcuse: Exploited by Sibusiso is a heartless business man because his father left he and his sister with nothing when he died. Exploited since since he uses it as a license to do whatever he wants (Like stealing evidence from a case that would have convicted a serial rapist, promoting somebody who has no qualifications just because they're related to him and forcing his gay son to not only take care of a baby but also pretend to have a relationship with its mother).
* FridayNightDeathSlot: Get put in the same time slot as this show (Eight PM weekdays) and you’re either a [[{{Geek}} geek]] show (Series/DoctorWho, Manga/DeathNote) or you won’t last a season.
* IncestSubtext: Senzo and his father Sibusiso can get… intense, it got worse when Senzo catches Sibusiso making shady business deals.
* KarmaHoudini: Sibusiso and Dineo framed Kenneth for drug possession in Thailand, they were never punished.
** Noluntu date-rapes Senzo and is rewarded with a baby and a doting grandfather.
* LimitedWardrobe: All the men either have dreadlocks or bald heads, no in-betweens.
* LongestPregnancyEver: Khethiwe is pregnant for at least 14 months.
* LoveDodecahedron: Seems to change every week.
* MayDecemberRomance: Ma Ruby and her best friends son.
* ProductPlacement: No South African will forget the three weeks Ma Ruby, Queen and Khaphela would [[TalkingIsAFreeAction stop whatever they were doing to tell]] the rest of the [[SarcasmMode sadly uninformed cast]] about PEP Cell.
* ShipTease: Jason with both Katja and Nicholas, Nicholas with Katja.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Jason seems to not be able to love anybody who's not Senzo, the one time they broke up he even had a ReplacementGoldfish who looked almost exactly like Senzo.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Senzo and Jason, now their part of the main plot, sharing the same importance with [[VillainProtagonist Sibusiso]] and [[TheRival Mawande]].
* StatusQuoIsGod: The Queen/Steve plot might as well have not happened, since as soon as he leaves Queen and Lungile get back together.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Nicholas (replacing Senzo) for Jason, [[spoiler: too bad he was straight.]]
* TeamMom: Ma Ruby (Who is technically only Dineo’s actual mother)
* ThisIsUnforgivable: Said to Sibusiso by almost all the Memelas [[spoiler: after he tells them he knew Akhona's father was dead.]] They don't even forgive him for saving their daughters life, ([[spoiler: have their reasons though...]]}
* TokenMinority: Senzo (Gay) and Jason (Bi), who are also dating.
* TokenWhite: Katja. [[PutOnABus Not any more though.]]
* TranslationConvention: Akhona speaks English/Afrikaans while most of the other cast speaks English/Zulu, but nobody seems to have trouble conversing with her when she's speaking Afrikaans.
* UnexplainedRecovery: Dumisani, from [[YouFailBiologyForever seven stabs to the heart.]]
* VerbalTic: Queen has one of these ''darling''.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Senzo.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Nicholas and Akhona. [[spoiler: They did]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: What happened to Ozzy and his sister? Especially since there was a romantic subplot with Ajax.
* YourCheatingHeart: Dineo's latest love interest, Phenyo.
