Pearl Shongwe, who presented on both television and radio, has sadly passed away.
On Tuesday afternoon, the body of Shongwe, a newsreader for Metro FM who was currently appearing on the show Touchdown with Tbo Touch, was discovered at her house in Polofields, which is located north of Johannesburg.
Shongwe, who was 35 years old, was reportedly discovered dead by neighbors, who then called the police to report the incident, according to a source who did not want to be named for fear of retribution.
“The authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding her passing,” remarked the person with the deep throat.
According to another source, the former news reader for SABC was discovered laying dead in her house by herself.
“At this time, all I can say is that there were no injuries discovered,” the spokesperson said. It would indicate that she may have passed away as a result of natural causes. The informant reported that she was located “laying on her bed with her face down.”
Colonel Noxolo Kweza, the spokesperson for the Gauteng Police Department, requested that the Sunday World submit her written inquiries. However, as of the time of publication, she had not provided a response.
Her remarks will be included in the post as soon as we have them in hand.
Shongwe is a native of Soweto who competed for the title of Miss Soweto in 2011. Her career began in 2010 when she began working as an entertainment reporter for the youth radio station YFM, where she worked alongside Mo Flava. In addition, she began working in 2010 for SABC Sport as a reporter and voice artist for their flagship programs, which included a children’s sport show called “Sports Buzz.”
As a sports host on SABC 24hr News’s Sports Live, Shongwe was also featured on the SABC 24hr News channel. She then moved on to become a co-host on Morning Live alongside Simphiwe Ncongwane on the weekends.
