Meet Cintaine Schutte, the 31-year-old dark-haired actress who lit our TV screens recently playing the no-nonsense lawyer, Katrien Nienaber on Kyknet’s legal drama, Fynskrif.

Cintaine hails from Pretoria and came to Cape Town to fulfil her dream of being an actress, studying Drama and Performing Arts at The University of Stellenbosch and UCT respectively.

“These days I’m a Capetonian living at the foot of Table Mountain,” says a casual Cintaine.

Since last week Cintaine took to the stage again playing, Victoria, a somewhat hopeless romantic in the one-hander, “Half Leeg” (Last Rounds).

In her personal life, she is everything but Victoria. On the contrary, she is engaged to be married.
