Zodwa Wabantu has made no secret of the fact that she likes dating younger men. "They are young, adventurous, outgoing, ambitious," she once said in an interview.
But the star, who was once engaged to a man 10 years her junior, is feeling the heat after "thirsting" over a young actor on Instagram.
Zodwa seems to have taken a liking to Ntobeko Sishi - a 21-year-old who plays Ntokozo on Mzansi Magic's 'Gomora'.
Ntobeko has been known to get many women hot under the collar with his handsome looks and Zodwa couldn't resist leaving a flirty comment under one of his Instagram snaps.
“Eishh, I can’t help it anymore. Please inbox me," she wrote in isiZulu. Zodwa added winking emojis for extra effect.
Some Instagram users found Zodwa's comment funny and encouraged her to shoot her shot.
But many thought her remark was "creepy". Several people even went as far as labelling her a "predator" and "paedophile".
"If what Zodwa Wabantu said was said by a man, everyone would have been up in arms already but unfortunately, it was said by a woman, so it's fine," one Twitter user wrote.
