Pearl Shongwe passed away in her sleep on 8th November 2022. Preliminary investigation suggests the African media personality may have died from an overdose of hard drugs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until her demise, Shongwe was a top-notch TV presenter, radio presenter, newsreader, and voice-over artist. She is easily recognized for being a news reader and presenter on the popular radio and television shows The Touchdown show on Metro FM and SABC1\u2019s youth program, Daily Thetha.<\/p>\n

The final report on the exact cause of Pearl Shongwe’s death is still being compiled by the police as they are yet to conclude investigations into the case. However, earlier findings by the police insinuate that the respected media personality died of a drug overdose.<\/p>\n

The police ruled out foul play in the tragic death of the news presenter. Shongwe’s lifeless body was found lying face down after her family members and security guards broke into her home at Polo Fields, north of Johannesburg, through her bedroom window after they discovered that she was not responding to their calls to unlock her door.<\/p>\n
