Sindi got nominated in the Best Actress in a Telenovela category for her role in The River, which is the 4th in a row; and she’s always nominated for each season, every year.
Phil Mphela who was observant about the big move announced in a tweet that reads:
“Sindi Dlathu makes history! The actress is the only actor to have a SAFTAs nomination for the same role for all seasons of the show — you know she will get a nod for season 6 (final season) next year With her 5th nomination for playing Lindiwe Dikana on #TheRiver1Magic at the #SAFTAs17, Dlathu has set a record. Should she not get the nom for Season 6, the record stands for 5 seasons for same role.”
