Pearl Thusi on rough time during her and DJ Zinhle’s friendship

Actress Pearl Thusi opened up about her friendship with DJ Zinhle following rumours of their break up. 

Pearl claimed there was no animosity between them in a recent episode of DJ Fresh’s WAW (What a Week) podcast, adding that what was happening between them was normal. 

“Zinhle and I have always been friends, I consider Zinhle to be a sister, to be honest. and I have three sisters, and there are many times when I’ve had a sister where we don’t speak for a year half, or a long time, just to give each other peace cause we can’t seem to find some sort of equilibrium. With Zinhle, we did have a moment but it wasn’t a moment of we’re not friends anymore, hate each other, disgusting, I’ll never speak with you again, we’ve broken up type thing. We’re adult, we’re growing, we’re evolving, so, sometimes we’re gonna have moments we’re not agreeing on things,” she said.

Speaking on the distance between them, the Queen Sono actress said, “However, I must say that Zinhle and I, our lives have evolved over time. There was a time you’ll obviously see us together because we were living together. Then she moved out, now she’s married, she has another child, she’s been through so much she’s building an empire. Here I am making sure that the empire is growing in the little way I can as well,” she added.
