Actress Pearl Thusi has yet again rubbed Tweeps the wrong way with a thread of tweets she posted questioning government corruption on 7 July. 

It seems the Queen Sono star cannot seem to catch a break as she was recently dragged on Twitter for her “happy lockdown” post following President Cyril Ramaphosa moving the country to lockdown level four.

PEARL THUSI ON GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION

The actress took to Twitter to ask her 2.7 million followers if there is anything the South African government is doing right. 

“Is there anything our govt is doing right guys. There must be SOMETHING they’re doing properly because surely they’re not just spending state funds for fun,” wrote Thusi. 

She followed this post with another question. More feisty this time, she asked,

“Apart from corruption, what else does the South African Government do well? (10 marks).”

The Quantico star may have been looking for Tweeps to side with her against the government, the way singer Kelly Khumalo’s followers did following her video asking “government oldies” to step down. However, Tweeps were not having it and implied that Thusi and other celebrities are part of the problem. 

TWEEPS TURN TABLES ON THUSI

As always, Twitter users did not hold back their thoughts in the comments section of Thusi’s post.Tweeps have stated that Thusi along with other celebrities such as Somizi are given gigs by government to canvas for the ANC leading to the fans of these celebrities also voting for ANC hence keeping the party in power. 

“It gives celebrities like Pearl Thusi, Shimza, Somizi gigs with huge amount of monies to canvas for the ANC and influence poor black people who love those celebrities to ultimately vote the corrupt ANC. I feel for the blind people who don’t know how this mafia system operates,” wrote a Twitter user according to The Citizen

The tweet has since been removed. However, another Tweep supported this statement, posting a picture of Thusi campaigning for the ANC in the comments section. 

Thusi responded to the throwback picture saying she rallied for the ANC and DA because she had bills to pay. 

Another Tweep said he wished she shared the same sentiment when former president Jacob Zuma was still in power. Last night, the former president handed himself over to the police to begin his 15 month sentence for contempt of court. 

However, Thusi has instead been crushing on Zuma. The actress admitted that she can’t help but smile when she hears his voice

PEARL CLAPS BACK AT TWEEPS

The actress then posted a few things she learnt from “Black Twitter”. She said it doesn’t matter what life throws at you, you need to continue living your truth. 

Ironically after her rant, Thusi seems to be in support of the ANC as she defended them for inheriting a broken system.
