Dlathu, who has also served as co-executive producer since season four, has been acting in “The River” since it first aired half a decade ago.
Earlier this year it was announced that the telenovela will end after it’s drama-filled sixth season.
Over the years, the show has scooped 26 South African Film and Television Awards (Saftas) out of 31 nominations, and with one 47th International Emmy Award nomination to its name, it remains the most-awarded telenovela in South Africa.
In a previous statement, showrunner Phathu Makwarela, of Tshedza Pictures, said that when they created the show they knew they wanted to tell a story that had a definite ending.
“Now on its sixth season, we feel the time is right to bring the story of these beloved characters to an end, on our own terms and when viewers still treasure the show.
“As the saying goes, 'A good dancer always knows when to leave the stage', and now it's that time for ‘The River’.”
Living up to her award-winning status, the veteran actress is continuing to give viewers a performance of a lifetime, and is receiving her flowers for it.
