The show has been trending on Twitter since last night with fans continuing to voice their displeasure at the SABC.
The final episode of season 9 had left fans gasping for air and grappling with high blood pressure as Kwaito and John Maputla, accompanied by MaNtuli, Joyce and Sfiso, went to get the much-anticipated DNA tests done to confirm whether Kwaito was indeed John's son.
Lo and behold, the story reached fever-pitch when the doctor confirmed that there was a 99.9 per cent probability of John being Kwaito's father. At the same time, Meikie, who has been as scary as ever off-late, was making her way to be part of the reading of the results.
In the end, Meikie, who was carrying a gun, lost it and when she saw John in a heart to heart with Kwaito, cocked it in a fiery scene resembling the set of an action movie. She was arrested and taken to the holding cells following the chaotic scene with MaNtuli and Kwaito fighting for their lives in hospital.
