Maggie Benedict to ditch Generations?

Rumour has it that Maggie Benedict, who plays Akhona in popular local soap Generations, is in negotiations with Isibaya bosses.


The actress, who was apparently unhappy at Generations, has been to Bomb Shelter Productions a number of times where they’re discussing her role and contract, Daily Sun reported.

Last year she reportedly told her Generations boss, Mfundi Vundla, to ‘shove his job’.

It’s understood both Benedict and the Isibaya creators are excited by the venture, hoping it will help revitalise her tattered reputation after she was arrested by the police for allegedly shoplifting in a store in Cresta shopping centre last year.

She allegedly stole Panado tablets worth R17 at a Checkers store. She appeared in court this past Thursday and her case has been postponed while her defence reviews the CCTV footage.

Benedict reportedly refused to comment on the rumours.
