South African actress Linda Mtoba joins the list of Mzansi celebrities with their own clothing line as she announces the launching of a cloth line for babies.
Taking to her Instagram account, the star announced the good news and accompanied it with adorable photos of herself and her cute little girl wearing some of the clothes from their collection.
“I’d like to introduce you to @bean.wear. I started BeanWear after my Beanie Pie. I often found it challenging to find comfortable and matching sets for her to play and go out in. I wanted clothes that don’t restrict movement and were soft on our babies skin and to take the hassle out of “what are you gonna wear today”. BeanWear is for EveryBean,it is unisex. We officially launch today, I can’t wait to see you all in your BeanWear,” she announced.

In other news, actress Candice Modiselle has taken to her Instagram account to address issues faced by people in the entertainment industry, especially in the film and TV side of the industry.
In an Instagram live video, the Jiva actress pleaded with audience to be a little kinder to actors because they go through a lot.
She said the video was meant to address some of the pressing matters in the film industry that she felt needed to be spoken about.
“I want to speak about how actors go broke, things like that. How do actors not get the support they deserve? How do storytellers and writers go broke?” she said as she started her video.
Candice said the entertainment industry didn’t get the support it needed. She also said people didn’t support South African films but still criticised them.
Candice said the conversation she had was triggered by what she had seen on Twitter. She said she was unsettled after the saw comments by people a tweeted by her Jiva! co-star, Sne Mbatha.
“She posted a video from our show, excited, within all and every reason. But what had drawn me in is not the initial tweet she posted. I came across the quoted tweet which had brought in a lot of engagement. And then I read the rest of the quoted tweets and I was in awe,” said Candice.
“I was just shocked at the level of disrespect that people have for artists in South Africa and for a young artist who is celebrating a breakthrough for herself. How people are able to take someone’s breakthrough moment and ridicule it all in the name of criticising South African work.”
Candice said she realised people didn’t know how to engage properly.
“We, as South African audiences, don’t know how to engage – criticism versus hate. If only you knew the lengths, breaths and depths of insecurity and the general fights that artists go through to just breakthrough, get cast, get a job, be booked and be working,” said Candice.
