South African media personality Pearl Thusi recently opened up about her allegiance to one of Mzansi's Premier Soccer League clubs, and the story behind it is genuinely heartwarming. Thusi revealed that her support for the club is deeply inspired by her father, although she herself admits she isn't much into football.
In an engaging video clip, Thusi was asked about her football support, leading to some humorous exchanges.
The interviewer prompted,
"Pearl Thusi, quick question. Do you support football?"
After a moment of contemplation, she candidly replied,
"I don't invest in supporting it but I do have a mild interest."
Things heated up when the interviewer inquired,
"Which football club do you support?"
Thusi confidently answered,
"Because of my dad, Kaizer Chiefs."
However, when pressed for specifics about the current squad's coach, striker, and goalkeeper, she had to keep it real, admitting her lack of knowledge. The revelations made her fans chuckle and reflect on their own football knowledge.
Fans quickly took to the comments section, sharing their own opinions and reactions to her statements. One follower remarked,
"She should write a book."
This comment sparked further speculation about the stories Pearl could share, especially regarding a former Kaizer Chiefs coach’s past assistance during the birth of her child, leading to lively discussions online.

However, others criticized her approach, with one user pointing out,
"She had to belittle the poor father for no reason! Is this lady okay upstairs, mara?"
Nonetheless, there were supporters too, with @LibraYona praising her honesty,
