Linda Mtoba's Controversy

Whether they like it or not, celebrities will always get unsolicited advice on just about anything from fans. 

Linda Mtoba expressed her distaste to a fan who faulted her for posting a picture of her helper Emma, on her Instagram page. 

The fan assumed that she did it without Emma’s permission. Linda Mtoba set the record straight and let the fan know that Emma is part of her family and it was not the first time her image was on Instagram.

In another controversy, Linda Mtoba explained how she ended up wearing Minnie Dlamini’s wedding dress for her role on Isibaya

Linda Mtoba's parenting skills have been questioned by her social media followers. 

Firstly, it was about her not cooking for her husband. She defended her decision and stated that she cooks whenever she feels like it and people should stop imposing their beliefs on others. 

The next thing she had to explain to her online following was her breastfeeding decisions. 

Linda posted videos of her breastfeeding her baby girl and people opined that she was too old to be doing it. 

In response, Linda pointed out to World Health Organisation's recommendation that children be breastfed up to two years old and encouraged mothers to shun away criticisms.
