Pearl Thusi Career

Here’s a look at pearl Thusi’s biography.

Pearl Thusi New Bae

When the love bug hits, it doesn’t miss and Pearl Thusi might have found the one.

A Twitter user by the handle of @sya_nkabinde decided to shoot his shot at Pearl Thusi, and the good homie did not mince his words by telling her that he would love to be her boyfriend, yaas man fetch your woman.

The homie wrote “If I die I die @PearlThusi cela kuba boyfriend yakho.” Pearl Thusi replied to his sweet tweet and said he must not die, but they should date once.

We are happy for you Pearl.

Pearl Thusi Nigeria

While she was advocating for one love, South Africans told her to try next door!

Pearl Thusi was at the receiving end of the much of the backlash from South Africans following her advocacy for a united Africa. Since she has been always tweeting about the problem of xenophobia and advocating that the matter should be on top of the agenda, more than the issues faced in the US.

The #QueenSono star has been dragged in the past asfar as even suggesting that she was dating a Nigerian man.

The beauty took to Twitter and thanked her “peeps in Nigeria” for always making her look beat! Pearl even introduced the tweet by writing the name she was given by her Nigeria family, Ngozi.

Mzansi is now telling her to go back to where she belongs as she’s always giving them a shout out.Pearl Thusi Family

She is the eldest child in her family and has two younger sisters, Prunella and Pamela Thusi.

Pearl also has four older half-siblings. She says she had a very happy childhood despite children teasing her about the colour of her skin. Pearl is much lighter than the rest of her family.

“My father is dark. My mother was slightly light. I have a recessive gene from five generations back on my dad’s side. My ancestors five generations back were mixed race and so that is where it came from. With a gene recession it is normal, that for years nobody would be born light, or have blue eyes, until a few generations later,” she told Glen Lewis on Touch HD in 2017.Pearl Thusi’s parents helped shaped the person she is today. Her mother died in 2004 when she was still a teenager. Pearl often speaks about her mom in interviews, describing her as the “hardest worker”. After her mother’s death, Pearl said she had to fill the role of mom and wife. She moved to Johannesburg after completing high school.

“I ran away from being a mother to my sisters and being a wife to my father (in a sense) to being a real wife and mother,” she told Anele Mdoda on Real Talk.

Pearl’s relationship with her father, Bhekizizwe Thusi, was a bit complicated. He allegedly abused her mother and Pearl admits he was the first man to break her heart. Their relationship also became strained after her mother’s death. 2020 was the first year she celebrated her birthday without her father. She took to Instagram to share the news that her father had passed away. Although their relationship was strained at the time of her mom’s death, however all had been forgiven and the pair had mended their relationship.

Pearl Goes MIA

Pearl Thusi is everyone’s favourite, it’s just hard not to like her. Fans love it when she posts of her getaways, pics with her girls and even her besties on social media. She is known for her steamy pics and videos that have melted the hearts of many, but of late something seems to be amiss.

She left her fans shook after disappearing on social media without a public warning. The star recently deactivated all her social media accounts, and this has raised many eyebrows because everyone these days has become a social media junkie.This lock down has us all cooped in our houses and not able to go outside. It has even reunited us with our long-lost family members and friends, who went missing a long time ago. For most, the only way to stay in contact is through social media and this when the social media detectives noticed someone was missing and it was none other than Pearl Thusi.

Everyone hopes that Mama Panther is doing ok wherever she is. Even her bestie, DJ Zinhle sent out some love to her.
