What South Africa Thinks About Pearl Thusi's Show

Twitter user @Barffoon chimed in, saying:
"Oh, I see it now. These people play long games. They create drama around their lives for a year and then start a reality TV show in the second year. The problem is that they never address the drama. Just like Kelly Khumalo, we were expecting to hear about Senzo in that show, but she missed it."
Meanwhile, @visse_ss had a more optimistic take:
"Can’t wait to see Pearl turn all that negativity into a celebration of success! Your hate is just the background music for her winning soundtrack."
Not everyone is on board, though. @Violetta5050 simply stated:
"We will not be watching."
@XUFFLER added:
"I wonder who wants to know about her life 😭"
@Happiness24l shared a similar sentiment:
"Pearl is those friends that copy everything you do."
@IamEmmanie_H wasn’t holding back either:

Pearl Thusi Addresses Cassper Nyovest Drama
Before this reality TV announcement, Pearl Thusi made headlines for a different reason. In a previous report from Briefly News, she reacted to Thobeka Majozi’s emotional birthday post, where she accused Cassper Nyovest of cheating on her while their son battled cancer. Pearl’s response didn’t sit well with many South Africans, who felt she lacked empathy. Now, with her new show, fans will be watching closely to see how she navigates these controversies and showcases her true self to the world.
