In the scene, Meikie found her husband, John Maputla – played by Afrika Tsoai – and her best friend and neighbour Mantuli, who is played by Dieketseng Mnisi, talking about DNA tests.
As soon as she walked in on them, they changed the subject and played dumb to the situation. But Meikie wasn’t having any of it and began questioning them suspiciously, after which Mantuli made a run for it.
