South Africans know how to bring the heat. Whether it’s the fiery chakalaka on our plates, the witty banter at family gatherings, or the vibrant flair of local brands, we’ve got a taste for the bold.

Bringing the Fire to Comedy Central’s Roast of Pearl Thusi
Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind made its sizzling debut this month as the official sponsor of Comedy Central’s Roast of Pearl Thusi. In collaboration with Comedy Central, Smirnoff served up a shot of spice to some of South Africa’s most-loved (and occasionally roasted) celebrities. The panel—featuring the likes of David Kau, Tol Ass Mo, Farieda “Pharoahfi” Metsileng, Rob van Vuuren, Mam’ Lillian Dube, and Randall Abrahams—brought the heat with their sharp wit and biting comebacks. The lineup also included entertainers Phat Joe, Zee Nxumalo, Zodwa Wabantu, Busiswa, and Donald, making it a night of unforgettable laughs and fiery moments.
At the center of it all was Pearl Thusi, the “Black Pearl” herself, who stood tall amidst the flames. Embracing the Roast as a “lifetime achievement award,” Pearl’s confidence and charm proved she’s as spicy as the shots being served. “It’s all in good fun,” she shared, showing that she’s not afraid to handle the heat.
