A few years ago a picture surfaced of Sindi Dlathu and her sister Zandile and we had to do a double take because of how identical they look. As if that was not enough they have welcomed their younger sister Tina into the fray and they legitimately look like triplets.Other than the pictures of her sisters on Instagram, Sindi is very private. We do know that she is currently married to Okielant Nkosi, they have two children, however she keeps a tight cover on her family and private family. Till this day, her children and husband have never been written about in the media.

Although there isn’t much information available about Sindi’s family, Sindi however is one Mzansi’s celebs who has a twin. Her twin sister is called Zanele Sangweni. The sister is married to Matome Meela, a local businessman who owns a pawn shop and sells used cars in Soweto.

When she is not hanging out with her sisters she is giving us chills as she delivers a world class performance on The River. Can you believe Phathu Makwarela who is the writer of 1Magic’s hit telenovela had been eyeing Sindi Dlathu and Hlomla Dandala’s since she was playing Thandaza in Muvhango? He envisioned what it would be like if Thandaza were to cheat on Ranthumeng with Hlomla as he was the ideal man for her.

Sharing a tweet from way back in 2012, he was evidently astonished at how he made that possible and how it is working out now.The actress also has much to celebrate after her win at the virtually held South African Film & Television Award (Safta), where she walked away with Best Actress – Telenovela award for her role as Lindiwe in The River.

Renowned actor John Kani following Sindi’s win at the Saftas took to Twitter to share just how proud he was of the actress.

“I am so proud of you. From Committed Artists at the Market Theatre to Broadway in New York with Sarafina and to Best Actress SAFTA,” wrote The Lion King actor.

We love to see fellow creatives supporting each other.
