Has there ever been a more iconic couple on TV? We say no.
Karabo Moroka and Tau Mogale on Generations walked so all the other TV couples that were to follow could run.
When eight o’clock was still eight o’clock, South Africans gathered in their different living rooms watching the couple and other stars go through life’s challenges and then rise above it all.
It was aspirational TV at its best. Karabo came from the wealthy Moroka family that had an advertising company and Tau was the great love of her life who also ran illegal operations on the side. Together they ran New Horizons.
