What you need to know about Pearl Thusi
Pearl Thusi, born Sithembile Xola Pearl Thusi on 13 May 1988 in KwaZulu-Natal, is the eldest of three siblings, with two younger sisters, Prunella and Pamela. Her childhood was far from easy, as she has openly shared painful memories of her father's abuse toward her late mother.
As a result, she once vowed never to marry a black man, believing they were the source of the issue. However, as an adult, Pearl has since reflected on her past statement, acknowledging that not all black men are abusers and retracting her earlier belief.
Pearl attended the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and pursued a B.A. in Dramatic Arts. She temporarily put her studies on hold as her career began to take off, but later returned to complete her degree.
