A throwback clip of beloved Afrikaans singer Patricia Lewis has taken TikTok by storm, with fans flooding the comments to celebrate the star and compare her to none other than country music icon Dolly Parton. The footage, originally filmed for a 2012 Huisgenoot interview, was reshared by the fan page @patricialewisfans on 20 July 2026.
Video of Patricia Lewis opening up about her dream home
Shot across multiple locations, including a balcony with sweeping ocean views, a poolside area, and an indoor gym and dance studio, the video captures Lewis in a candid and grateful mood as she walks viewers through her stunning property.
One of the most memorable moments comes when she explains why she insisted on building a 3-metre-deep swimming pool. With typical Lewis humour and warmth, she explained that she anticipated the day her son, Max, would become a rebellious teenager and inevitably want to jump off the balcony into the pool with his friends. Her reasoning? If he was going to do it anyway, she wanted the pool deep enough to keep him safe.

Beyond the pool, she enthusiastically described the home's features: en-suite bedrooms, a bar, a dining room, a jacuzzi, and a host of other luxuries. The Afrikaans media personality ended the segment on a deeply personal note, saying she gets on her knees every day in gratitude for everything she has been blessed with.
