Internet users react to Sindi Dlathu plugging her sister in the new drama series Queendom which will premiere on BET Africa.
Sindi, who is famously known for her roles in Muvhango, Safrina and her recent role in the drama series The River where she was also the executive producer has left mzansi questioning whether she’s using her connections to get her younger sister Tinah on these shows.
Tinah started receiving criticism for her performance when she played Khwezi on The River with viewers saying she couldn’t act seeing her selection as nepotism.
Tinah plays the younger version of Sindi Dlathu in Queendom, a series about cultural legacy, tradition, fate, ancestry, power struggles, identity, and survival. The show follows Nthandokayise, a rebellious village chief who discovers the true heir to the Khahlamba Kingdom throne.
The show also includes cast members, Linda Mthoba, Hamilton Dlamini, Mduduzi Mabaso, Pallance Dladla, Dawn Thandeka King and many more.
An X (previously known as Twitter) user posted on the app that Sindi’s younger sister will play her in the drama series.

Another user encouraged Tinah to take on the role despite the online backlash as practising and sharpening the skills makes one better.
I see most people are complaining about Tina not being a good actress, she’ll learn guys, just like the rest of other good actresses.
