Known for her role on Generations as the vivacious Ruby Dikobe or just Mam Ruby, Slindile told TimesLIVE that she spent a year without any work opportunities and urged younger actors to embrace the stillness:

"What is mine will never pass me by. No matter what happens, don't blame yourself or give up. Just know it's going to happen.
