Fired 'Generations' Actors Seek CCMA Help; SABC Shelving The South African Soap in October

Fired Generations actors Slindile Nodangala, Patrick Shai and Thato Molamu.

Sixteen actors fired from South African soap opera Generations have approached the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) to seek reinstatement, they said on Friday.

The cast, organized under the "Generations Actors Guild" (Gag), said in a statement they were "unshaken" in their resolve to secure their demands. These include a reduction to 10 working hours a day, provision of social benefits, an end to inconsistencies in remuneration, payment of royalties, and better working conditions.
