And the Axe has landed on the right neck!
After an exciting, whirlwind experience hosting Mzansi’s highest rated lifestyle and entertainment show - RGB to an average of 5.6 million viewers, SA’s media darling Pearl Thusi has decided to say farewell to the much loved show.
Thusi, who joined RGB in early
2012, has had the most incredible journey with the show. Starting off as a host
for RGB, her career opportunities soon expanded to include being a co-host on
SABC 1’s Live Amp and earlier in 2013 she followed her passion back to acting
by landing a role on SA’s long running soap - Isidingo.
Although feeling a bit nostalgic,
Thusi is not saying goodbye to the SABC 1 viewers, who can still catch her on
Live Amp on Friday evenings.
“We are definitely sad to see Pearl
leave RGB, especially as it holds such a special place for her as a Launchpad
for her career. She has grown from her experiences and guidance there, which
has only made her a greater talent. There are many exciting opportunities that
lie ahead for her including additional projects with the SABC and the
production company, so the future is most certainly looking bright,” commented
Sarit Tomlinson, CEO of Capacity Relations, Thusi’s management company.
With a massive audience and
successful ratings, Thusi felt that it was time to move forward and open the
gates to Sinazo Yolwa and Amanda du-Pont.
“I absolutely loved my time on
RGB. I have had an incredible journey and everyone at the show has been
amazingly supportive with my decision to move on. I am not saying
goodbye, just see you soon. I have so many great things going on at the
moment that I had to make a tough decision on what to focus on. I feel
that I’m handing over a stronger and better show to Sinazo and Amanda and I
wish everyone involved the best of luck,” remarked Thusi.
Pearl will still be seen on RGB
until the end of November.
RGB airs on SABC 1 on Saturdays at 18h00.
