South African celeb mom Pearl Thusi has had a lot to celebrate lately (with her successful lead role in the hit Nefltflix show Queen Sono and her announcement as a Mac ambassador) and the event of her daughter Okuhle’s fifth birthday is the latest of these. The actress took to social media to and said to her daughter, ” You came into our lives  and added so much joy and love… time passes so quickly and I can’t believe you’ve five years old already.” The celebs friends also joined the mom in celebrating her daughter with Thusi’s best friend DJ Zinhle adding, “Happy birthday to my sweet baby girl  Okuhle. The prettiest girl ever. Your mommy and I love you.”

“I’m a mother to four-and-a-half-year-old Okuhlekonke and I have to wait for her to grow up and decide how she wants this story to be told.

“As much as I feel I’m a big part of this story, Thando is also a bigger part of this story in terms of the narrative right now. As much as I would like to say this is what happened and that happened, I have to protect so many people.

“in 15 years time if Okuhlekonke decides to tell you guys what happened and what’s happening, then that’s her choice to make.”

Pearl said Okuhlekonke has added a greater dynamic to the family.

“So, I feel like right now all that I can admit to is being her mother, and that I’m very proud of that, and that she’s a very sweet, kind and loving child.
