According to News24, Pearl then took the SABC to court for failing to implement a proper sexual harassment policy framework in the workplace.

“Yo … since we are there … can I also get asked that question? LOL [laughing out loud]!“When do you need Pearl and for how long? Go Tumza … Pimpsta of the year! Hahahaha … Sorry guys … that was funny!”
