The River audiences are over rising star Tina Dlathu's bad acting' and want the actress who plays the character of Khwezi to exit the 1Magic telenovela.
--

INSIDE TINA DLATHU'S ACTING Viewers of The River took to social media to complain about actress Tina Dlathu's acting skills and her awkward scenes with her love interest Zolani.
Fans demand to know if the actress got the role because of her sister Sindi Dlathu who is a producer and plays fan-favourite character Lindiwe Dikana-Dlamini on the show.
A viewer from the show tweeted:
--
I skip Khwezi's scenes because she's emotionless and has one range
Another viewer tweeted:
Is she not doing kissing scenes like her sister who plays Lindiwe?
Seasoned actress Sindi Dlathu who hails from Muvhango doesn't do kissing scenes with her husband Zweli played by Hlomla Dandala on the show.
Fans have much respect for the actress because she's talented and always gives great performances in the characters she plays.
This no kissing between Zolani & Khwezi makes the story line so dull & annoying for me. Nkare ke shebile Muvhango. Bhod. #TheRiver1Magic

THE RIVER' FANS REACT TO KHWEZI'S SCENES @tshepisotkzee:
Emma and Zolani are such good actors for them to be paired up with this Khwezi actress. I'm tired of her blank expression and no fire chemistry between her and her love interest.
It seems as if Lawrence is trying hard to give her a chance in their boring scenes.
@rosa_mantic:
Zolani has no intention of leaving his marriage. Emma is Xhosa, and there's no possibility of that Cobra situation with her. I am ready for the coming battle!
@KCSupporter1:
The Zolani and Khwezi scenes are not giving what they are supposed to give.
@tshepisotkzee:
I fast forward Khwezi's scenes. Her performance really isn't giving. Anyone could've played this role. Hiring the producer's sibling makes me scrutinise everything more.
@MrsMom_Cele:
Problem is that she ain't even that good at acting we're still getting to know her and she can't even show emotion.
Her face is just blank. We not even seeing reactions from these almost kisses . Not even a naughty look.
This week is going to be an eye popper. Literally #TheRiver1Magic @1MagicTV pic.twitter.com/xJKfuAxYBO

maybe it s her sister who set boundaries for her.

Zolani has completely shut down after Emma s unexpected return. Things have changed more than she knows but she s willing to put in the work.
See if that helps tonight on #TheRiver1Magic. https://t.co/RwO96SSc2k pic.twitter.com/EDmwzIqYfV

Khwezi has one expression. No range of emotions. #TheRiver1Magic
Tshepiso mamps (@tshepisotkzee) June 27, 2022
I missed it! I fast forward all Khwezi scenes since the acting is so bad. #TheRiver1Magic
Tshepiso mamps (@tshepisotkzee) June 24, 2022
Khwezi is so young kodwa not to kiss Just saying #TheRiver1Magic

It's not too late to recast Khwezi, or take her to wherever Nomonde is. #TheRiver1Magic
Tshepiso mamps (@tshepisotkzee) June 27, 2022
From Ep 1 S5 of #TheRiver1Magic we know Mabutho ends up with Nomonde, Cobra picks Paulina (she's at the wedding) and Zolani is still with Emma. Just had to check cos this Zolani + Khwezi story is annoying.

Khwezi speaks as if she is reading a newspaper, Tshedza who is holding yall hostage? hiring the producer s sibling?? Haibo #TheRiver1Magic
