Pearl Thusi escapes attempted robbery unharmed

Pearl Thusi was left unharmed on Thursday evening, after an attempted robbery.

She was held at gunpoint in her car while waiting for a traffic light in Braamfontein.

Pearl took to Twitter to detail the whole incident.

“Someone definitely just pulled a gun on me on the road in Braam while I was in my car. Then said I must give him my phone or he’ll shoot me. I said no, then drove away (luckily the light just turned green). I only started freaking out a few minutes later. (sic)”

She went on to say: “Maybe he thought I can’t speak Zulu?! Maybe he was stressed that I didn’t freak out. Maybe he didn’t have bullets? Maybe Jesus said ‘not today Satan.’ All I’m grateful for is to be alive and unscathed.”

A Twitter user then asked Pearl if she saw the gun, she replied: “Yes I did. But I’ve worked with fake guns on movies and other shows so they don’t immediately freak me out.”
