The two actors recently worked together when Babeile arrested Meikie for attempting to kill Mantuli (Dieketseng Mnisi) and her son Kwaito Maputla.
This wasn’t the first time we saw Babeile arresting Meikie.
She was also arrested last year when she shot and killed Tumishang (Mothusi Magano) who kept the Maputlas hostage.
It doesn’t look like Meikie will get away with murder this time around, as she was sentenced to Polokwane Prison.
Babeile hates the Maputlas because of their power, status, and money.POLICE OFFICER MEIKIE
Fans of the show are so impressed with Meikie Maputla’s detective skills that they want her to change careers from being a supermarket owner to a police officer.
Meikie figured out that John (Africa Tsoai) is Kwaito’s (Clement Maosa) father before the DNA results were released.
She also found the plane tickets on John’s phone without his knowledge.
They want Mathew’s character and Harriet’s character to run the police station.
