Pearl Thusi covers Sawubona magazine

Pearl Thusi is on the cover of SAA’s in-flight magazine, Sawubona. In it, she remembers the very first time she took her flight.

Pearl took to social media to share the news, writing: “At home in KZN, there should still be a copy of the very first Sawubona magazine I ever laid my eyes on.”

Like most people’s first flight which is exciting, hers was too.

“SAA was the first airline I ever flew with. It was 2003, just turned 15 and I was a Miss SA Teen finalist. And I was going to be on a plane for the first time ever. I grabbed anything I could to remember the occasion. My dad drove me, were hours early.”

Things have now changed for Pearl.

“Now they all wave at me as I sprint to the gates. Today I am a platinum member of South African Airways and on the cover of Sawubona.”
