The internationally renowned actress Pearl Thusi has made her DJing debut, which has since sparked mixed reactions on social media.
A video of Pearl rocking the deck made rounds on social media over the weekend, setting tongues wagging.
“I would never laugh at a parent going on a different path so that their kids can eat. What Pearl Thusi is doing needs to be applauded instead of being ridiculed. Times are hard, be innovative if you can,” said one fan.

“Angisanandaba nezinkulumo zabantu [I dont care what people say]… I practiced until I couldn’t stand anymore… I’m so happy because I overcame the fear of judgment – forgetting that only God has the right to judge me. I’m free,” she wrote.
Taking to the comments section, some fans and celebrities including DJ Zinhle, Moozlie, Zodwa Wabantu, and more congratulated Pearl on her new venture.
“Let’s go, friend. See you on the road, can’t wait!” DJ Zinhle wrote.
