Matthews Rantsoma Sparks Concern Over Dramatic Weight Loss
This weekend, actor Matthews Rantsoma made headlines on social media after a video of him went viral.
The Scandal! star, who had recently posted a now-deleted Instagram video, caught the attention of fans not only for his emotional message but also for his dramatic weight loss.
Fans Show Concern Over His Health
Rantsoma’s physical transformation hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Many of his followers, who remember his days on the e.tv soapie Scandal!, quickly noticed that the actor appeared significantly slimmer.
His fans, mostly on platforms like Mzansi Soapies and Teasers on Facebook, have expressed their worries, with some asking if everything is okay with him.
The actor, who was nominated for a SAFTA award, opened up earlier this year about the struggles he faced after leaving the popular soap.
In a candid interview with Sowetan, he shared how tough life has been.
“You know that feeling when you’re not working, where anxiety and depression keep creeping in? The overwhelming pressure of constant problems? That’s how it felt,” he said, reflecting on the past year.
He further described his experience as a period of darkness, with only a tiny spot of light in the middle—a metaphor for the challenges he’s faced.

” Others, like Kwandokuhle Phindokuhle, reminded everyone that Rantsoma had shown signs of struggle even before leaving Scandal!.
“May he fight and win the sickness. Speedy recovery, Nhlamulo.
One of my favorite actors,” they shared.
