The only celebrity to publicly support DJ Zinhle has been Pearl Thusi, who bravely weighed in on Bonang's role in the racy affair she supposedly had with rapper AKA.
Taking to Twitter, Thusi braved the potential backlash she could face for giving her opinion on Bonang and AKA's scandalous secret rendezvous which happened over five-months.
The Metro FM radio presenter sparked a trending topic after she tweeted: "Is there an #askawoman to find out how to apologise to the woman who was sleeping with your man? #askingforafriend"

Thusi followed up her comment with :"Didn't realise that when a woman is being disrespected we're meant to keep quiet. Otherwise it means we're perfect or to protect careers."

She added: "If this happened to me I'd be sad if no one stood with me. But such is life today. Incredible. I'm not perfect but that doesn't mean silence.
