Pearl Thusi has been caught in a web of lies regarding her involvement in a ZANU-PF propaganda tour. Recent revelations have exposed that she was well aware of the political affiliations of the tour and its itinerary, contrary to her initial claims of ignorance.
The media invite letter sent to all participants, including Thusi, sheds light on the fact that they were informed about the tour's connections to ZANU-PF politicians and a visit to State House. This contradicts Thusi's earlier statements that she had no knowledge of the political nature of the tour, which aimed to foster positive relationships between Zimbabwe and South Africa.
The tour, allegedly orchestrated by controversial businessman Zunaid Moti, reportedly had connections to President Mnangagwa and other ZANU-PF officials. While the tour's official purpose was to enhance cultural ties between the two countries, it now appears that there was a hidden political agenda.
The media invite letter, dated before the tour commenced, reveals that Thusi and the other participants were explicitly informed about the itinerary, which included meetings with high-ranking ZANU-PF officials, a visit to State House, and other politically significant activities. This new information strongly contradicts the narrative Thusi presented on social media in response to the backlash from both Zimbabwe and South Africa.
A South African celebrity who was on the ZANUPF propaganda tour @PearlThusi has been proved to have lied about not knowing that her group would meet ZANUPF politicians and go to State House.

Sources close to the situation suggest that the celebrity might have fabricated her narrative in an attempt to mitigate the criticism that emerged from the tour. The backlash on social media platforms from both Zimbabwean and South African citizens prompted Thusi to distance herself from the political aspects of the tour.
As the controversy unfolds, questions arise regarding the credibility of public figures and the underlying motives behind seemingly innocuous endeavors. The revelations surrounding the ZANU-PF propaganda tour serve as a stark reminder that transparency and honesty are essential in maintaining trust within the public sphere.
