Our very own American based star Pearl Thusi was briefly back in the country this past week as she went down memory lane back to where it all began. Pearl Thusi reveals why she came back to SA.

I came home for a short visit because I missed the kid, my partner and all my other loved ones immensely. I didn’t get to see a lot of people but I did manage to get a lot done. 🙁💔,” she captioned the photo above.

Pearl says one the reasons why she made the quick trip was to get in touch with her humble beginnings which she says has rejuvenated and encouraged her to work harder and be stronger. “[To] show them love and gratitude to how they have contributed to where I am today.”
