Cape Town – Two of South Africa’s most prominent celebrities have found themselves in the media spotlight again, as fans on social media remain determined to prove that there is beef between DJ Zinhle and Pearl Thusi.
The rumours have been going on for months and the latest incident came after the two women were seen partying together at a club in Bryanston.
A video posted on Twitter shows Zinhle in the DJ box with another South African celebrity, Brandon Reynolds.
As Thusi makes her way over, it appears as if Zinhle signals for her to go away.

The video has reignited the debate about the two friends’ once intimate and high-publicised friendship.
And once again, the two women have had to quash the claims that there is trouble between them.
In July, The Citizen published that things had soured between the two and Pearl was the first to respond to the claims.
“Guys- Zee and I are still very much friends. Can this nonsense stop now,” she tweeted.
A month later, Sowetan LIVE reported on an interview Zinhle did with SMag where she was asked about her friendship with Thusi and she said:
“Pearl and I are fine… we have an everlasting sisterhood. Much like every relationship has its ups and downs, we go through that as well. 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.”
Fed up by the rumours circulating on social media after the incident on Wednesday, Zinhle has taken to Twitter again to clear the air.
Also. Y’all keep saying I don’t need to explain myself so you can push the narrative that entertains you.
I was never mean to Pearl.. not at all…

2/2: Also. Why would Pearl smile when she walked away if I was being mean to her? Please stop vilifying me…
