Isidingo is one of the longest-running South African soap operas with a long list of an ensemble cast. The show, which began in 1998, has completed over five thousand episodes, garnering huge followership, both in South Africa and beyond. Although the show began as Isidingo, the name was later changed to Isidingo: The Need in 2001. Through the show, the Rainbow Nation has witnessed a crop of fast-rising young actors and actresses, which has kept the show afloat for several years.<\/p>\n
Asides its popularity, Isidingo is equally a commercially successful TV show and a very unique soap opera. Set in small mining South African town called Horizon Deep, the town represents the post-apartheid version of Village Deep, home of The Villagers, apartheid South Africa’s first local soap opera. Having lasted for several years, the show has raked several awards and recognition. In the wake of the foregoing, here’s a complete list of Isidingo cast, both the main and recurring characters.<\/p>\n

She portrays the character of Nikiwe Sibeko in Isidingo; her character is a corporate woman who has to swim with sharks to survive in the mining town, Horizon Deep. For her outstanding role in the series, Linda was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in Soap Opera at the 2016 SAFTA Golden Horn Awards.
