As you all know or should know by now Connie Ferguson has resigned from Generations, she actually announced this on twitter about two months ago which I am assuming is why the whole Lungile Mabena storyline was brought in because he will probably be Karabo’s happy ending, finally!! The build up to Karabo’s departure has been drama-filled with Dineo doing everything she can to break up Karabo and Paul and finally succeeding. In last night’s episode Karabo even admitted to Ntombi that she doesn’t want Paul back and that she’s actually in love with Lungile.
I was very sad to hear that Connie was leaving Generations because Karabo’s character has been the pillar of the show and she is the last true Moroka descendant. She’s been a part of our lives since 1994 when the soapie began and it’s so difficult to imagine the show without her. We have been through everything with her including drug abuse, miscarriages, blindness, psychotic husband, cheating and a lot of almost-happy-endings! I will definitely miss her character and wish Connie all the best in the new chapter in her journey.
Tonight.co.za reported the following on May 3, 2010:
Connie Ferguson, who plays Karabo Moroka in Generations, is to leave the drama series.
In a press release, Mfundi Vundla, executive producer of the SABC1 show, said: "It is with the fondest memories that I think back to Episode 1 of Generations, 16 years ago, in which Connie first featured as Karabo Moroka.
"Connie is a leading lady in the true sense of the word. We will remember her for her professionalism, dedication and loyalty - she is an icon that will be sorely missed by her loyal followers as well as the Generations family."
Ferguson is quoted in the press release as saying the past sixteen years with Generations had been an amazing and a humbling experience.
"I have received so much love from fans locally and abroad. After sixteen years with the show though, I do feel the time has come for me to go out into the world and see what else is out there for me. I feel like a teenager who is just about to leave home for the first time, both excited and nervous.
"A big thank you to Mfundi, Friedrich and Elsje, the executive producer and producers of Generations respectively, for giving me the opportunity to be a part of history in South African TV entertainment, and my colleagues for the love and support they have shown me over the years. I wish them all many more years of Generations.".
Ferguson will not be doing any interviews until her official departure from the show in August 2010.
The character of Karabo will be on our screens till October this year.
