This afternoon, Mbau shared the memorial details of her father. She was flooded once again by messages of condolences it was however the one word comment by Pearl Thusi that has social media in a tailspin.
Pearl Thusi responded to the post by Mbau by saying 'hectic'. Many fans took offence to this response with many raising concerns as to why this would be her go-to response to the news of a memorial service of someone's side. Social media users went online to drag Pearl Thusi:
There is genuinely something wrong ka Pearl Thusi shame. Her need for attention even in the worst possible times is worrying. How the hell do you comment “Hectic” on someone’s post where they are giving the details of their dead parent’s memorial service? What the hell is this? pic.twitter.com/mbqHivF2Mk
