In October viewers bid a sad farewell to the long-time Muvhango actress Sindi Dlathu who had played Thandaza on the SABC2 soapie for 20 years.
Rumours that the actress was to appear in Uzalo were soon rubbished by the show’s producers and it has now been confirmed that the actress has landed a role in a new telenovela, The River, where she’ll appear alongside a few big names, including Moshidi Motshegwa and Hlomla Dandala.
The show starts 29 January on the new DStv channel 1Magic (channel 103).
Award-winning scriptwriter Phathu Makwarela, who is working on the new show, took to Twitter to share her excitement about working with the actress. Check it out her post here:
