Turning Heads with Self-Expression
South African actress and former Rhythm City star Pam Andrews has once again captured the internet’s attention. In a recent Instagram video, she posed in a sweater and underwear, unapologetically flaunting her figure. The post read like a message to herself—and to her audience: “Not everyone is meant to be super skinny #loveyourbody.”
The video’s boldness quickly translated to virality. On Twitter (X), the repost from @Zikamnyamane raked in over half a million views and thousands of likes.
Vulnerability Meets Confidence
In her follow-up message, Andrews acknowledged a long-standing insecurity: her double chin, which she says she’s struggled with for years. She revealed that this detail influences her hairstyle choices, preferring to wear her hair down to cover what she calls “a flaw.”
Far from hiding, she framed the video as an act of self-love. She encouraged viewers to embrace their bodies, cellulite and all—insisting she loves herself, flaws included.
Mixed Reactions Across Mzansi
The comment section lit up with praise and concern. Some applauded her courage and confidence: “You are perfect just the way you are,” and “Love how you’re owning your story.” Others expressed worry, saying she seems different than she used to be.
A few voices wondered if she was going through emotional battles. “What happened? Did she break down?” one user asked. Another urged, “Somebody check on her.”
A Backstory of Challenges
Andrews isn’t new to public scrutiny. In 2024, she opened up on TikTok about stepping back from acting. She cited personal struggles—trauma, anxiety, and depression—that led her to renounce the spotlight. The video she shared now seems to stray beyond performative image work. It feels personal.
Her rise to fame came through her role as Gail October in Rhythm City, where she acted opposite the late Jamie Bartlett’s iconic character David Genaro. Over the years, she’s been candid about using provocative styling to attract attention—and even admitted she once wore extreme outfits just to “be seen.”

A New Chapter: Act, Creator, or Something Else?
We live in an era where personalities shift between screens, social media, and personal branding. For Pam Andrews, this video may be an invitation: not just to witness her vulnerability, but to see who she wants to become next.
Is this the start of a return to public life on her terms? Or a way of reclaiming autonomy over a narrative that’s too often confined to what the camera sees?
One thing’s certain: Mzansi is watching.
