Pearl and Thando’s Mozambique getaways
Last month, Pearl and her daughter jetted off to Mozambique for a quick vacation. The mother-and-daughter duo posted a series of photos and videos, giving fans a sneak peek inside their vacation.
“Teach your daughters how they deserve to be treated era,” Pearl wrote, captioning her travel vlog with Thando, showing the highlights of their trip.
She posted another video, dancing in a bikini, holding a glass and a bottle of champagne, singing along to Inkabi Zezwe‘s hit song titled Umbayimbayi. While some people had negative comments to say about Pearl’s bikini dancing videos, the actress said she was too busy to worry about people’s opinions.
“I am busy travelling the world because I deserve that … I wonder when people are going to realise that, like for as long as you guys try and police me or my body and me being a mother, for as long as that is happening, I will do what I am doing.”
Thando also posted a few cute pictures, including the Fire Island sunset views and other beautiful moments.
