As we enter the year 2025, South African public figures appear to have embarked on a new chapter with a fresh mindset that refuses to let anyone steal their joy.
For years the prominent actress and now DJ, Pearl Thusi, has found herself under immense criticism from the online community and while she has previously ignored the negative responses, she has now simply decided to set the record straight by sending a “sweet” message to her critics.
In a recent tweet on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) the former Isidingo actress revealed that she has never understood the reason why she has always found herself being criticised on social media platforms like X when all she chooses to do is live her life in the best way possible for herself.
“I just live my life, and how those upsets so many people I’ve realised is not my concern to understand,” she revealed.
Pearl further hinted that she has learnt to be okay with the idea that she cannot always control what the public says about her, adding that if dragging her name through the mud makes them happy, then she is glad they achieved that.
Continuing her post, she added: “I hope you guys never experience what you’ve put me through. Without God I wouldn’t have survived that and continued rising. I’m truly living proof that only God can destroy what and who he’s built.”
At the conclusion of her post, she wished all her critics a happy 2025, before thanking her most loved supporters for their continuous prayers throughout this journey.
And more importantly, I’d like to thank and focus on the people who’ve prayed, loved and supported me through my success, silence and setbacks.
I may not know all your names but please know that I’m so grateful, thankful and hopeful.
May God Continue blessing all of you…
