Playing the role of a villain on TV can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it’s a testament to an actor’s talent to be able to portray a character that viewers love to hate.
On the other hand, it can sometimes lead to the actors themselves being hated by the public. But for Sindi Dlathu, the tables have turned.
Sindi, a multi-award-winning actress, has managed to win over the hearts of viewers despite playing the villainous Lindiwe Dikana.
This character has done some truly despicable things, including killing family members, all in the name of power. But instead of focusing on the character’s actions, viewers have been captivated by Sindi’s incredible acting skills.
Throughout the years, Sindi has given us one powerful performance after another as the formidable Lindiwe. Whether she’s plotting, conniving, or showing no mercy, she always manages to impress. And recently, viewers showed their appreciation by giving her a standing ovation.
It’s not often that an actor receives such praise while still alive. Usually, it’s only after they’re gone that people truly recognise their talent. But Sindi has managed to receive her flowers in the here and now. And she deserves every single one of them.

I'm a thousand percent certain Sindi Dlathu did some method acting here. If not, she spent very long hours studying a much darker side of her character. This is probably the most terrifying and haunting camera shot ever captured. Truly spine chilling!😨 #TheRiver1Magic pic.twitter.com/MEjDZfGGW6
