Best known for her roles as Zama on Isibaya and Nomonde on The River, Mtoba has also become a fashion and beauty content creator who has worked with global and local brands.

"I have worked with some amazing brands over the years and sometimes I feel like I have to pinch myself when I get to work with brands that I really love," says Mtoba. 

"Vaseline® is such an iconic brand and one that has such a strong legacy in South Africa and I feel extremely grateful and privileged to be called the face of Vaseline®," adds Mtoba. "I am so excited for everyone to see the work we have been doing and have planned for 2022 and I am excited to see how I can bring this brand to life for South Africans in new ways."

Sphelele Mjadu, Unilever personal care senior public relations manager for Africa, says that Sphelele Mjadu is a natural fit for the brand and that the two has developed a strong relationship over time.

"Mtoba is someone who really embodies the modern South African woman and speaks to so many of the people that love and use Vaseline®," says Mjadu. "She is someone whose family values, authenticity and lifestyle really align to the Vaseline brand values and proposition."

"When we decided we wanted a brand ambassador, we knew right away — it had to be Mtoba. We have always enjoyed working with her and her team and love that she resonates so much with our brand and our consumers. We are so excited to begin this partnership and looking forward to seeing how Linda and Vaseline® can create magic together," concludes Mjadu.
