BREAKING! Pearl calls it quits.

You're reading it here first. Shocking news just in, that I just confirmed through multiple trusted sources: Pearl Luthuli, SABC Group Executive: Public Commercial Broadcasting at the SABC has resigned.

Although some of the programming might sometimes be a bit dull, it's certainly never a dull day behind the scenes at the broadcaster. According to sources, ''people are running around. There's suddenly meetings upon meetings, nobody knows yet why she's leaving.''

Pearl Pamela ''Pepe'' Luthuli has served in this position since October 2005 and was basically in charge of SABC3 as well as the SABC's commercial radio stations.

She came under fire last year because of SABC3's sagging ratings and huge loss of advertising income.
