The River is a South African telenovela, which plays on 1Magic Monday – Friday. The show brought in so many new talents, and also brought in people who have been in the industry for a while. Some actors started acting when they were younger, but could not be recognized when they joined the River.

Matshepo Sekgopi, who portrays the role of Dimpho on the River is not new to our screens. She has been in the acting industry since she was young. Most people didn’t remember that she used to be on the popular Soulbuddyz. An old picture of the now 24 year old resurfaced on social media, and people could not believe their eyes.

It is no wonder that she is such a brilliant actress. It is now known that she is in fact a seasoned actress, who was trained early. Her character on the River has left a good impression on many viewers. The role she portrays on The River is of a township girl, who is very tjatjarag.
