Mzansi telenovela superstar Sindi Dlathu was thrust into superstardom several years ago when she appeared in Sarafina and since then, she has been killing it in the acting game.
The actress who portrays the character of Lindiwe Dikani on Mzansi Magic’s hit telenovela The River is the backbone of the show. Hence we were assuming we had decades of more Madlabantu before we say goodbye. However, with the way things are going on the show, we wouldn’t be surprised if she exits at the end of this season.

Lindiwe’s latest rival Mohumi has evidence of all of Lindiwe’s sordid secrets and is on the verge of spilling all of them. While an exit by Lindiwe would shake the show to the core, it could be possible as Sindi will have her hands full working behind the scenes as executive co-producer.

All others can go but not Lindiwe. But they said she is now part of executive team.

Will she go? Only time will tell but one thing is for sure, The River will never be the same without her.
Even if she does leave her onscreen persona we are happy she is still affiliated with the show.

The actress’s character was recently written off the storyline on the show, and there were reports which alleged that she was given the boot after fans complained that her character was irrelevant. But speaking to Move Magazine Generations The Legacy Publicist Garaatwe Mokheti refuted the claims.
“Her exit is very much amicable and peaceful, “She is a phenomenal actress and she will certainly soar in whatever she chooses to pursue.” Her last appearance on the show will be on 29 April,” she said.
