Cape Town – Former Idols SA judge and media personality Unathi Nkayi topped the Twitter trends this week when she posted nude pictures of herself on social media.
Unathi, who is also a singer, took to her Instagram timeline and shared pictures in which she posed naked in front of a mirror, as she reflected on the journey of loving her body.
She detailed how she used to get laughed at and dragged on social media over her body.
“They would say I use foundation to cover my stretch marks. They laughed when I said I want to be able to wear a bikini any day of the year. They would drag me on social media while picking my body apart.
“I knew what I wanted. I knew what I had to do to get there. I know what I have to do to stay there,” she wrote.

She continued: “My journey with @africology_sa makes me so emotional. I walked into their doors in 2011 and we’ve been family since. I was so wide I couldn’t rest my arms on the bed by my side. They would fall off. TODAY I love looking at myself naked. My confidence is INSANE. Stretch marks, weight and cellulite GONE.”
Earlier this year, social media users reacted with different opinions over a video in which Unathi and Minnie Dlamini as well as some of their friends were seen doing the Nkoa Tempela dance challenge in bikinis while on vacation in Cape Town.
Unathi and Minnie shared the video on their respective Instagram accounts.
“You’d swear I’m Xhosa @abrooklynwinter @tee_mbana @minniedlamini,” Unathi captioned the Instagram video.
The video quickly went viral.
