Jo-Anne Reyneke had glowing words for Sindi Dlathu during a candid sit-down on Penuel Mlothswa's podcast, The Konvo Show, filmed in September 2026. She credited the veteran actress with shaping not just her on-screen performance, but her entire approach to the craft.

"I learned how to be a lead from Sis' Sindi. How to not be the most important person. Even though everybody else keeps saying that to you," Reyneke said. She added that watching how Dlathu treated people on set left a lasting impression on her. "The way she makes people feel. From the smallest guy to the most important guy. I learned that from her. From grips to catering to directing, I love that woman."
