Media star Pamela Mtanga has offered a candid look at the pressures of live broadcasting following her stint hosting the South African Music Awards (SAMAs).
Despite a polished performance alongside co-host Scoop Makhathini, Mtanga revealed that the evening was defined by behind-the-scenes turmoil, including the loss of her primary wardrobe look.
Rather than focusing on the glamour, Mtanga highlighted the resilience required when “everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong.”
She noted that the hallmark of a professional isn’t a flawless environment, but the ability to steer a show through the inevitable “unexpected chaos” that comes with high-stakes television.
Ultimately, Mtanga credited her ability to remain composed under fire to the quick thinking of her backstage team.
For the seasoned presenter, the night served as a powerful reminder that live hosting is less about achieving perfection and more about the grit required to ensure the audience at home never sees the struggle.
