Mathews Rantsoma Finally Speaks on Cancer Rumours
SAFTA-nominated actor Mathews Rantsoma has cleared the air following growing concerns over his noticeable weight loss. After a viral video sparked speculation about his health, the former Scandal! star reassured fans that he does not have cancer and is not ill, explaining that he is naturally slender. His response comes after a recent social media post in which he asked for financial assistance for his niece, prompting even more attention to his physical appearance.
Social media users expressed mixed reactions, with some urging him to seek medical help while others suggested his transformation might be for a film role. Supporters flooded his posts with prayers and encouragement, though some insisted he owes no one an explanation regarding his personal life. Concern grew further as comparisons were drawn to other South African celebrities like Anele Mdoda and Gugu Gumede, who also experienced public scrutiny following significant weight changes.
Rantsoma previously admitted that life after leaving Scandal! was difficult, describing it as a dark journey filled with challenges but holding on to hope. Despite the rumours, he continues to remain positive and focused on his career while engaging with fans who still celebrate him as one of Mzansi’s most talented actors. His message to supporters was clear: while speculation is rife, he is not sick and is grateful for the concern shown.
