Pearl Thusi has added her voice to the raging debate around Western Cape premier Helen Zille's colonialism tweets which has sparked widespread outrage.
Zille landed in hot water on Thursday after she tweeted saying that colonialism wasn’t all bad.
"For those claiming legacy of colonialism was only negative‚ think of our independent judiciary‚ transport infrastructure‚ piped water etc‚" Zille tweeted.
Pearl along with most of the nation blasted the politician for the comments.
Helen tell your people to give our land back before you try remind us how lucky we are that our ancestors were killed for hospitals. Tsek. https://t.co/FaPfutJuXG— PEARL THUSI (@PearlThusi) March 16, 2017

Would wine farms & land be owned by the people who own them if it hadn't been stolen it from people they found here. #justbehonest #please— PEARL THUSI (@PearlThusi) March 16, 2017
The actress explained that she was seething with anger and called Zille out on forgetting about the people who helped build the hospitals and other facilities in the country.
And I proper almost fell for her lame xhosa stunts... I'm so mad.— PEARL THUSI (@PearlThusi) March 16, 2017
This old hag forgets who hands builds these hospitals & who actually benefits. HELEN SPARROW!!!!— PEARL THUSI (@PearlThusi) March 16, 2017
This woman... wow. And conveniently calls it colonialism. Did we ask for pipes??? Did we they have to die for transport & f'ing pipes?!? https://t.co/OuUAVE8nlK— PEARL THUSI (@PearlThusi) March 16, 2017
When Pearl saw that Zille was getting on board a flight in the midst of the storm, it just infuriated her more.
She also coined a new name for her - making reference to Penny Sparrow who caused a stir in SA in 2016 over racism comments - labelling her "Helen Sparrow".
Because African heritage was savage and imptoper- yet our land is good enough. GO TO SINGAPORE THEN. https://t.co/h98tzD5VhC— PEARL THUSI (@PearlThusi) March 16, 2017
