Alexandra township hasn’t been the same without shebeen queen Lucy Diale (Manaka Ranaka) around. And we’re not alone in missing the fierce character – since Lucy left town in December last year, her husband Mrekza (Kope Makgae) has slowly been losing all hope of ever seeing his love again.

Lucy opted for the latter.
