The Observer: The Meiki Revolution

When a child is twisted in her adulthood stages and continues to make decisions which only give her pleasure when she inflects pain and mayhem to others. You know that there is some serious issues going on and Veskopies must be on speed dial.

This brings me to the scene on Muvhango between a mother and child.


I believe strongly that there are people who can’t do anything positive in life, they are like the murders and rapists of this world only they are the blue collar versions.  By the way "an anti-rape device which chops off the tip of a rapist's penis has been invented by a retired anaesthetist in the Free State, South Africa. Just a thought or should I say developments.

When you speak to crime scene profiler's, you will be amazed at how they will map out the kind of person who would be so low as to find it satisfying to connive and lie in order to hurt, destroy and even damage people lives or reputations.

Muvhango used to be a great show when it was weekly,  and since I am focusing on a particular scene I will refrain from giving a detailed analysis and will leave that for later. For now the focus is on Meiki and her mother.


For those who may wonder what "they have done" refers to. It seems Meiki and her step brother, Pheko, have been doing the tango and they are now pregnant.  In reality this messes children up... and you wonder why CMAX is so packed!

Everyone I spoke to when researching this blog agreed that Meiki is twisted and does represent a growing number of young ladies who are lost and continue to create a salvo of problems for people in their families and outside. One lady, Jane Sanders, even said, the Meiki’s of this world are all over, she claimed she can even point them out from a mall because as she puts it “they are lost and they will act like devils and attempt to destroy other people’s lives whilst acting as if they are normal and have the best time”


Grunted I was completely surprised but not entirely shocked. I always thought that people with no morals, principles and a brain cell to bump together, who act as if they understand the words they read or speak, are the ones you should be careful of. But it seems Meiki is all over the show these days, even the lady at Pick ‘N Pay may just be the next Meiki or that girl you saw at Virgin Active this morning looking all hot and sexy, could very well be Meiki.


But instead of this being a social responsibility observation, its more of a scandalous observation on Muvhango which involves culture, tradition, decency and a degree of offensive levels only understood by certain people and detested by a few more than the show realizes. However, I think it is necessary that the show raise this issue. Some guys are reported to be raping thier grannies whilst others physical and verbally abuse thier parents.







.
After all that, what do you think. Do you think Meiki was correct in addressing her mother in this manner?

A blogger on TVSA wrote a very interesting comment which reads “The boy comes from a middle class family and I put the blame squarely on his mother. She taught him to be so manipulative and she allowed him to do whatever and but she never let him take any responsibility.”  WhiteSockGirl. To read more on that CLICK HERE. Could this blogger's assessment of a reali life situation give insight to why Meiki has become the manupilative women she is?

Lets not forget that Meiki "found" Pheko first and the mother snagged the father later on, and they went on to get married! Did this push her to this degree, also she fainted at her mothers wedding because she could not take Pheko being her brother.

 
Parents make mistakes but an adult women should know that and be able to deal with her issues without falling pregnant to prove a point and making her mother and everyone hurt. There is a more dignified way of talking to your parents about your issues without addressing them like one of your friends who stole your boyfriend. It is interesting how embarrassing this is, when you look at it from a real life perspective.

Do you think her being pregnant by her step brother was the right thing to do? Your cultural or traditional point of view considered, even if you don’t have one, your personal opinion does matter, so share.


Being pregnant is a result of having sex (obviously), which means they were doing the tango all along. I consider that to be sick...imgine having sex with your stepsister. I guess its better than shagging your half sister. Ewe all round! I know they dated before their parents hooked up and married, but does it make it right?

Would you do the same if you were either a man (Pheko) or women (Meiki), to your parents?

I had a friend who had a real life Meiki situation. But the thing is that he dated this girl whom he loved and she was a devil and he could not see it until he decided to end the relationship. Man….. hell came to earth in a fury, and it was so sad because he loved her but hated knowing who she really was. I think he even wanted to marry the devil. I remember him saying “I think she is psycho because some screws seem loose and I am concerned”


Is jy klaar?” vra ek. Ek sal jou moer!'
Ek sluit jou so ver weg waar nie eers die vliege op joou sal k......k!
Ek is jou ma!

I don't know about you guys, I can never speak to either of my parents in this manner. I think I will be admitted with multiple wounds. We don't even raise our voices at my parents house. Its so quite, you feel like you are intruding. I believe that, parents even when they are wrong must be respected. You can find better ways of addressing your issue with them. After they are your parents.

Have you had a Meiki experience in your life, either personally or socially?

tjo; great observation observer; i knew she wasn't right but this is a real eye opener; i have a cousin who is so twisted and lazy that she burned herself with parrafin and then later lied saying that it was a prima stove just so evrybody can stop with their daily lives and faf over her bringing her money and gifts.

The parents were wrong, i blame them for this situation..
Meiki dated Pheko long before they met, and they knew about it a still went on to get married...Meiki n Pheko are not really related coz their blood is not so the shouldn't be complications on the child
Meiki is a psycho period

I think he has slept with her, coz he mos admits the pregnancy???

Yes, i think the child is vhamusandas..... but i also suggest that The Oberver observes Pfuluwani next.... those women that drop their careers and settle for someone that doesnt really appreciate them, and end up being in prison like that, not even allowed to greet her old friends.

The parents were not wrong in getting married, they did try to end things but Meiki and Pheko gave them their blessing. Also Meiki and Pheko werent seeing each other anymore when Tshepo and Mirriam were getting married. Also the problem is Pheko does not love Meiki, i bet Meiki will want to committ suicide when she finds out that Pheko and Thandaza are in love. Doesnt Meiki watch soapies? Doesnt she know that manipulation doesnt work? Or faking the pregnancy is the first sign of being dumped, forever.

Then we should blame the Mukwevhos for all this.

It's Albert and Ndalamo that made Meiki press charges of rape agains Pheko. Thats when he stopped loving Meiki.

<<<I always thought that people with no morals, principles and a brain cell to bump together, who act as if they understand the words they read or speak, are the ones you should be careful of.>>

Hahaha,… now there is a thought! I am arrogant like that! I don’t like to engage with people who I presume to be stupid! Let alone starting a debate with them,… just pure waste of time, me thinks. So, yeah I don’t entertain fools. Then other peeps might just think that of me,…


<<Is jy klaar?” vra ek. Ek sal jou moer!'
Ek sluit jou so ver weg waar nie eers die vliege op joou sal k......k!
Ek is jou ma!>>

Those are  the mother’s words? That is sooo wrong on many levels.

I do not have kids (and my unborn children should be thankful that they are unborn because I am sure I would totally mess them up,.. they would be worse than any Meiki. The things I am being exposed to on a daily basis would make me on damn nervous parent!

But I do work with children with serious behavioral problems on a daily basis, and what I have learn, the very hard way, is that CHILDREN ARE SAMPLES OF OUR EXAMPLES.

That thing of ‘do as I say, not as I do’, does not work. Children copy the behavior of the adults in their lives.

If that is how mother spoke to Meiki all her life, that is how Meiki will speak to her and other adults.

Another reason why I do not have kids. I will have to give up my wine. Practice what you preach. Me wine glass in the hand telling Fab Bitch junior not drink, that is just not on.

<<Have you had a Meiki experience in your life, either personally or socially?>>

Way too many, that is in my professional life.


<<I don't know about you guys, I can never speak to either of my parents in this manner.>>

Not only to my parents, to any other person who is older than I am.

I have been told once that my good manners and my diplomacy border on being nauseating. I strongly believe in basic good manners and basic courtesy. I don’t let people walk over me and I do speak my mind, but whenever I did something that my mother would consider as bad manners, it is like I am hearing her voice reminding me that good manners won’t kill me.

Judging by the way the mama got Ntathe Tshepo, the way she bamboezelled herself into Agnes's home and tried to run her life, the psychoness runs in the family and the mother shouldnt be surprised when Meiki shows her the apple doesnt fall far from the tree. 

Meiki is sick and Pheko deserves her. he used her to get over Thandaza and now he must live with his creation.

I have spoken to my parents (dad) like that. It's when one gets to a point where talking to them in calm manner doesnt work and they play the adult card on you.
I know my dad is an adult but some of the things he does make him look like a child. I have tried talking to him about this and he tells me you are a child and cannot lecture me about what is right and wrong.

I got mad and I exploded at the thought that I cannot say anything to him without him telling me what a child I am.

It was only after the incident that my dad started taking me seriously.
May be Meiki's mother is selfish and always put her happiness first.....

The fact that Mme Miriam went and had a relationship with her daughter's boyfriend's father was shocking to me in the very first place. And even the way Miriam wangled herself into the Mokoena family was just suspicious nje. Yes I get that after Meiki had accused Pheko of raping her, the relationship ended, but still, if your daughter has caused such pain to the Mokoena family, why go ahead and get married in the family. uMeiki yena does need help, but whatever kind of help she decides to seek, Mme Miriam must go along, both of them nje are not right up there. Remember how she had so many secrets when she and Tshepo got married.

GML>>Maybe Meiki's mother is selfish and always puts her happiness first.. That's exactly the feeling I got when Miriam first started this thing with Tshepo. She didn't care how her relationship with Tshepo would affect Meiki and Pheko. Meiki was clear from the start how she felt about Tshepo and Miriam's union, but everybody just focused on the fact that Pheko had given them his blessing.

I am officially your groupie-this is a very great article-granted I cant stand anything that aint porn on tv-but this is so real it reminds me of all the Meikies in my life-from Mama in law to my brothers and co workers.....

Me thinks it'll be great if some difficult people would come with manuals,so that the rest of us wont have to sweat out relations when around them.

Lest they turn me into a Meikie too
