Fans react to Cindy's performance on screen
Many netizens couldn't help but flood the comment section with their reactions to the actress' performance on the series. Here's what they had to say below:
@whatkeadoing said:
"Cindy has always been good. If you think she was bad somewhere, it wasn't her; it was the production. Either than that, she's never had a bad performance."
@kenonam1 commented:
"I love that her ranges are ranging. Cindy my dhiye."
@Mshazi_gubta responded:
"She stole my heart since the days of The Queen. She’s always been good."
@Mmabatshedi replied:
"I love Cindy, mara eish. Unfortunately for me, she does not develop as an actress. I found her to be screaming a lot, and trust me, not the character, her acting, tends to overdo it sometimes, which is unnecessary. She was 6/10 for me, if I were to rate her."
@conundrum89 mentioned:
"I felt Alex’s emotions through the screen. When I saw him the first time, there was an energy shift, then around his boss, there was another shift, then right before he died, nje yazi lomfana."
@KaeTeeSA1 stated:
"Cindy Mahlangu is just - 🤌🏽Love an actor that can make me laugh, cry and be angry exactly when the script requires. From her messed up funny situations to meaningful scenes with Leo - she took us through Pinky's journey with ease. Loved her down."
