On Thursday night, the Lerato saw a headline on her Twitter timeline that pronounced her dead and questions from her fans asking if it was a prank.

Generations The Legacy actor Donovan Pieterson asked if he’s okay

Donovan Pieterson generations the legacy

Generations The Legacy actor Donovan Pieterson says people often mistake him for his character, Brandon, and try to help him. Donovan plays Brandon, the character of an autistic person on the show.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Donovan said “people live for TV. They sympathise with me and ask me if I am okay. They ask if they can help. What frustrates them is that they don’t understand I am playing a character. When they see that I don’t have autism in real life they look at me as if I am trying to deceive them or that I am taking chances.”

Donovan Pieterson said he has international ambitions but he accepted the role because he wanted to prove to himself and others that he could play a difficult character.

The star further stated that he doesn’t want to play a character saying lines differently. This role pushes him emotionally and has helped him to grow. His goals and ambitions are to go international, but he’s so grateful for the opportunities he has been given with Generations.

Tumi Voster and Mark-Anthony leave Tropika Island Of Treasure

Tumi Voster & Mark-Anthony Bingham

It’s been a nail-biting season of Tropika Island Of Treasure so far and this week, the first elimination took place. After receiving the lowest number of points throughout the first round of challenges, 5FM presenter Tumi Voster and Mark-Anthony Bingham were booted off the island.

Naturally, the duo is gutted about being the first to leave the island and their bubby personalities are sure to be missed. The teams continue to battle it out for a share of that smoooth R1 million. However, with a variety of Slenda Twists on the way, the next few episodes of Tropika Island Of Treasure promise to be entertaining.

Q&A With Tumi Voster & Mark-Anthony Bingham Shortly After Being Eliminated:

What surprised you most about yourself being on TIOT and the island?

Tumi Voster: If you told me five years ago that I would be on a reality show, I would’ve probably not believed you. I learned that I can do whatever I set my mind to doing. I learned to be more open to new and exciting experiences! Everything that happened on that island was a surprise every single day but I was prepared and ready every single day to face all the challenges. I am happy that I got to show my fans or followers a different side of me they’ve never seen before as I am quite a private person.

Mark-Anthony Bingham: What I learned the most was that I was able to allow a female to lead as I’m always the dominant one, and I learned to listen – not just rush in to situations.

The 42-year-old Oyelowo admitted he isn’t sure whether the iconic 007 spy will ever be played by a black actor in the future, but understands that audiences are “ready and screaming” for more female actors and actors of colour.

Speaking to Shortlist Magazine, Oyelowo said: “Whether a black actor will end up being James Bond I don’t know, but it’s very clear that the audience is ready and screaming for actors of colour, or women, or just different kinds of people than we’ve hitherto seen, to be front and centre in those kinds of movies.
