Zodwa Wabantu Joins Star-Studded Roast Panel to Take on Pearl Thusi

The highly-anticipated Comedy Central Roast of Pearl Thusi, sponsored by Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind, is already creating buzz as its celebrity line-up is slowly revealed. According to IOL, one of South Africa’s most controversial figures, Zodwa Wabantu, will bring her fearless attitude to the roast panel. Known for her outspoken personality, Zodwa is no stranger to speaking her mind, and she promises to bring that same fire to the stage.

Zodwa shared her excitement and readiness for the event, saying, “I am bold and unapologetic in what I do, and I recognise the same traits in Pearl. We are both tough cookies who can give as good as we get.” However, she made it clear that Pearl shouldn’t expect any mercy when the roast begins. “That doesn’t mean I’m going to hold back when the chips are down – she is fair game and must not expect any special treatment from me!”

The Roast of Pearl Thusi will be recorded at the Lyric Theatre in Gold Reef City on November 21, 2024, and is set to air on Comedy Central (DStv Channel 122) on December 8, 2024, at 21:00.
