Viewers of 1Magic's telenovela The River have renamed Sindi Dlathu's character - Lindiwe Dikana to Queen Lindiwe Dikana after her royal wave in Refilwe last night.

Lindiwe was dressed to the nines in last night's episode and waved to the people of Refilwe just like Queen Elizabeth.

SCENES FROM SEASON FIVE Fans of The River believe that actress Sindi Dlathu character should be called Queen Lindiwe Dikana after her royal wave in Refilwe last night.

--

Season five of the popular telenovela began with a flash-forward at Nomonde lLinda Mtoba) and Mabutho's wedding.

Everyone attended Nomonde and Mabutho's wedding including Nomonde's father Zweli Dikana who got killed by Mabutho.

Zweli is seen confronting Mabutho in the bathroom at the wedding before getting knocked down to the bathroom and not waking up.

--

Mabutho (Thembinkosi Mthembu) then panics when he doesn't wake up while Lindiwe is knocking in the scene.

Viewers are devastated at the thought of Zweli (Hlomla Dandala) getting killed as he's been Lindiwe's rock from season one.

QUEEN LINDIWE DIKANA Fans think the creator-writer-producer of the show - Phathu Makwarela is responsible for Lindiwe Dikana's wave in Refilwe and admire him for thinking of the idea.

Audiences of this telenovela are addicted to Lindiwe Dikana's dramatic outfits and love that she's always dressed to kill whether she's going to the office, or just chilling at home.

Her dress last night revealed that things are about to get messier this season and depicted her mood for the season.

She's ready to claim her crown as queen, she's ready for more blood to spill and she's ready to conquer.

The River viewers also know when she's about to kill someone and know when she's going to have fun by what she's wearing.

Just caught up on #TheRiver1Magic

If Zwelli is to pass on, it would be interesting to see Lindiwe going through another transition

We have experienced Lindiwe the mom when she realised Tumi was her daughter,when she lost Mbali- the grieving mom&now without lala

melody.chingwaru (@melching91) February 8, 2022

Lol yaas please ,this was me when I was watching it the episode in the morning

Lindiwe was undone when Mbali died

Then unleashed a bit when she shot at Tumi's helicopter and now if lala passes on

Think of the possibilities

I love them dont get me wrong but #TheRiver1Magic pic.twitter.com/dm3DYOawSZ
