The River: Lindiwe surrenders her life to God
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about life, it’s the fact that it’s unpredictable. One minute you’re on top of your game, and the next minute you find yourself at the very bottom. That’s exactly what Lindiwe Dikana is experiencing on The River right now. If you’re wondering how badly things have turned for her, let’s fill you in.
Lindiwe repents
As we expected, Lindiwe survived the fire that Tumi started in her shack. After the incident, she found herself alone once again. Her situation was so bad that her former employee, Flora, offered to take her and Zolani to her house. The aunt and nephew are now living with Flora and that seems like the best arrangement for them right now because they have nowhere else to go. Flora and Lindiwe’s relationship seems to have gotten a lot better as they’re now even bonding over some gospel songs and the word of God.
If you think that’s shocking, you haven’t heard the best part yet. The former mining boss has also decided to repent for her sins and give her life to God.

She even thanked God for bringing Tumi back into her life and admitted that the world has beaten her down. As convincing as that was, we can’t help but wonder if it’s all just an act.Here’s a Has Lindiwe really changed her ways?
Zweli finds out about Nomonde and Lindani
It was only a matter of time before Lindani and Nomonde’s secret came out in the open. The new lovebirds haven’t been able to keep their hands off each other since they started sleeping with each other and as much as they’ve tried to keep their relationship under cover, they haven’t really succeeded.
The first person to catch them in the act was Mbali, who was beyond shocked by her discovery. She obviously doesn’t believe that her older sister would date someone on Lindani’s level. Zweli is now the latest person to catch the lovers and it doesn’t look like he’s impressed.

Will the top cop accept his daughter’s new man? Or will he force her to call things off? For their sake, we hope that they love will stand all the challenges that are coming their way now that their secret is out.
