Their mission is simple yet profound – to uplift, empower and bring light to those most in need. As a mother herself, Pearl’s connection to Tshepang Care Centre is quite personal. She understands the challenges faced by many and knows just how vital the work of this centre is to the community.



Pearl’s time on the Deal or No Deal stage was nothing short of electric. With the banker’s offers coming in low and tensions running high, Pearl’s determination shined through. From the onset, her game plan was clear, take bold risks and turn down offers that were not to her liking.

When it came time to choose her briefcase, Pearl opted for briefcase 18, a sentimental choice tied to her son’s birthday. Tensions rose as the banker tried to sway her with offers of R7,350 , R18,400 and R150,000 but with boldness, Pearl rejected both offers, keeping her eyes on the big prize.



As the game progressed, one of the briefcases revealed a staggering R50,000, sending gasps through the studio. Yet Pearl never wavered. Her bold strategy paid off when her chosen briefcase, number 18 was opened to reveal the grand prize: R250,000. Shouts of joy erupted and Pearl’s emotional connection to the cause made the victory even sweeter.



The prize will undoubtedly make a difference for Tshepang Care Centre, enabling them to expand their reach and provide even more support to those in need.
