"That is so unhygienic. Why is Thandeka steaming her face using the same pots everyone has to cook from? Why is she even doing her face in the kitchen and not the bathroom? Why not boil it hotter and put it in a dish or something, then do her face? Yuck!, he said.

Big Brother Mzansi fans are unimpressed with Thandeka
@Blaq_Ston said:
"That's not new, Phil. She has been doing that since week 1; she once dried her weave using an oven. She is the most unhygienic housemate ever, but very quick to see other dirty people."

"Watch the show regularly... then you will know ... that the small pot she uses has been put aside only for Thandeka. And anyway ... she's only steaming her face over the boiling water ... not putting her head in the pot! The ignorant yapping on this TL is chronic misinformation!"
@unhingedgl responded:
"That is so unhygienic. Why was Liema drinking the same milk everyone drinks from? Why is she even wearing a towel in the kitchen and not the bathroom? Why not wear clothes and then go to the kitchen and drink milk in a cup or something? Yuck! "
@Phily246 reacted:
"Because it's Thandeka you writing a long story here.. that is not your house, so leave Thandeka alone, jerrr #BBMzansiS6 even here if it was Thandeka with that tissue you'll be complaining haters."
@Bigchels001 commented:
"I really don’t think people get this. Thandeka has built a fanbase that no amount of talk will make us decamp from her. The earlier you guys get this The better for you all. Peace."
