PEARL THUSI SAYS SHE AND DJ ZINHLE HAVE GROWN

Pearl told DJ Fresh that her relationship with DJ Zinhle is that of a sisterhood and it is normal for sisters to disagree.

“Zinhle and I have always been friends. I consider Zinhle to be a sister, to be honest, and I have three sisters,” she told the former 947 host.

“There have been many times when I’ve had a sister where we don’t speak for half a year, or a long time, just to give each other peace because we can’t seem to find some sort of equilibrium. With Zinhle, we did have a moment but it wasn’t a moment of we’re not friends anymore, hate each other, disgusting, I’ll never speak with you again, we’ve broken up type thing.

“We’re adults, we’re growing, we’re evolving, so, sometimes we’re going to have moments we’re not agreeing on things,” she explained.

Pearl further explained that the reason she and Zinhle were always seen together was because they lived together some years ago.

“However, I must say that Zinhle and I, our lives have evolved over time. There was a time you’ll obviously see us together because we were living together. Then she moved out, now she’s married, she has another child, she’s been through so much she’s building an empire. Here I am making sure that the empire is growing in the little way I can as well.

“I think there’s a microscopic energy towards us,” she added.

“We are at a point in our lives where we don’t have to explain ourselves to people as long as we’re accountable to each other and our friendship,” Zinhle said.
