With the country in a state of jeopardy, Pearl Thusi has taken to social media to advertise a mobile phone for the brand Huawei.
Yesterday might be the most dramatic day in 2019 for South Africans. A teenage student was murdered by a 45 year old man and the same day multimedia showing killings of foreigners in South Africa went viral. Xenophobic attacks in out Africa is not new.
Twitter users came for Pearl Thusi on the neck after the TV star posted about a phone instead of lending a voice to end femicide and xenophobia in South Africa.
