Sixteen Generations cast members that have been fired after they embarked on a strike over a week ago say they are exploring their legal options. 

Speaking to Zaba through one of their legal representatives on East Coast Radio this morning, the actors said they would like to see some form of intervention.

Desmond Brown of Mzamo Attorneys told Zaba that the actors are "very reluctant" to go to court over the issue. 

He maintained that his clients are not in the wrong as they are only asking for the normal conditions that any other person who is employed or who is engaged in a contract would want to have.

The actors of the popular SABC 1 soapie were fired yesterday after they ignored the call to return to work following a week-long strike. 

The names of the actors are: 

•    Anga Makubalo (MJ Dlomo)
•    Atandwa Kani (Samora Lembede)
•    Katlego Danke (Dineo Dlomo)
•    Mandla Gaduka (Selwyn “Choppa” Maithufi)
