Meikie Maputla (Harriet Manamela) was the most envied woman in Turfloop before she found out that her husband fathered a child with her neighbour who is also her best friend.

--

Viewers will agree that she was loud and crazy but she was still classy and level headed.

Then her life got turned upside when she bought a gun which shot Tumishang (Mothusi Magano) last year .

Then things took a dramatic turn for the worst last season when she attempted to kill Kwaito (Clement Maosa) and his mother.

Here are three crazy and hilarious moments from Manamela's character:

MAI MAI' VERSUS RAMBO' She's been paranoid and hasn't been able to enjoy her freedom since being released from jail.

Everyone in Turfloop is talking about John's infidelity, the shooting and her arrest.

She isn't the confident Meikie that we met in season one of the show.

We expected things to go south for her last night when she went out for lunch with her eldest son Leeto Maputla (Eric Macheru).

Before she could even start ordering her lunch, in walked one Marothi (Max Papo) with his newfound nickname for her that's still on everyone's lips Rambo .

This nickname tops the one her sister-in-law (Joyce Ledwaba) gave her Mai Mai last season.

MEIKIE'S UNWELCOMED VISIT Meikie wants to make amends with her husband John as she still loves him regardless of his cheating.

When the pastor advised her to work on her marriage, she packed a picnic basket and visited John at the hospital who chased her away in front of everyone.

--

But before John even arrived, Meikie was arguing with the security guard and reminding everyone who she is The mighty Meikie Maputla.'

MEIKIE DUMPS JOHN'S BELONGINGS Perhaps John (Africa Tsoai) and his sister Joyce were right when they suggested that Meikie should be sent to a mental institution.

A final nail in the coffin for viewers was when she packed all of John's clothes this week and dumped them at Mantuli's (Dieketseng Mnisi) house.

She then proceeded to tell Pretty Seakamela (Lerato Marabe) to tell her mother that she's won John.

She is not even aware that the Seakamela kids are terrified of her when she comes barging in because she shot their half-brother Kwaito Maputla-Seakamela.
