Bonang finds a man after 6 years of being single

Well-known Mzansi reality television star, businesswoman, and media personality, Bonang Matheba is excited to find love after 6 years of being single.

The media personality is rumored to be in a romantic relationship with executive producer David Phume of Cake Media.

Queen B has also hinted that she has a man she’s dating, and she confirmed in a recent episode of her reality show, B’dazzled By Bonang.

“I was single for six years before. Now you can’t get me any more. It’s going well. I’m very happy. We found our rhythm,” she said.

“I was adamant in knowing what I wanted, the guy I wanted. I was also so busy with my career, I was busy with BNG litigation, and I moved to New York City. So even as a human being, I think I wasn’t in a place that could accept … I wasn’t happy so there was no way I was going to be happy in a relationship.

“Came home from New York [and I] felt stronger, better, more beautiful, I [had] won my litigation, I found my rhythm, I was happier and then God said, ‘take this’.”

Bonang Celebrates With Newly Appointed Joburg Mayor Kenny Kunene

Bonang Matheba might have recently celebrated the major win of her regaining control of her popular and Woolies bestselling MMC sparkling wine alcoholic beverage House of BNG. As reported:

… After a two-year legal battle with her former management company, it seems that Matheba has come out victorious. This is as she took to social media to share the winter campaign for House of BNG.

….a heist gone wrong!! Lol!! The End. ?

— Bonang Matheba ? (@Bonang) May 12, 2023

Now it seems that Queen B* has time on her hands to focus on the entire spectrum of the socio-political landscape in South Africa. This is instead of her keen eye on the goings-on of the Department of Sports, Arts, and Culture, as she has been doing for years now.

As such, it seems that Matheba had something to say when it was confirmed that ex-convict, turned reformed blesser and now-politician Kenny Kunene is the Acting Mayor of the City of Johannesburg.

Bonang Attacks CSA After House of BNG win

Bonang Matheba excited her fans and followers when she recently shared the official trailer for the second episode of her revamped YouTube-based reality show B*Dazzled 2.0.

Not long after the release of the trailer, the star has already earned yet another meme-able moment as she referenced the iconic song by South Africa’s first openly gay boy band 3SUM.

Vuuuuuuuul’ ungaaaaaavaaaaaliii’! ❤️ https://t.co/Guu0TJPLCK

While there is still no clear date as to when the public can expect the episode to drop. The Young, Rich and African reality star has taken to social media to share another win she has recently had.

During the trailer of B*Dazzled 2.0, Matheba references the drama which surrounded the end of her working relationship with the international management company CSA.

A recap on the drama was reported at the time:

The timeline became a mess when it was revealed that Bonang Matheba was allegedly kicked to the curb as House Of BNG owner. The Sunday Times reported that Bonang Matheba might no longer be a shareholder of the MCC, claiming that her former management company Celebrity Services Africa (CSA) Global, went behind her back to remove her as a shareholder.

ad
…Now, hitting back at these claims, allegedly made by Bonang, CSA Global released a statement to Channel24 setting the record straight. Apparently, Bonang joined CSA in 2017 and House Of BNG was launched in 2019.#

The company claims to have played a significant role in the success of BNG. Their statement reads as follows:

“It appears that this is yet another attempt by Ms. Matheba to distort and manipulate facts. To be clear, Ms. Matheba joined CSA in 2017, and the brand was launched in 2019.

Not only has CSA invested in this venture but we have been significantly instrumental in developing and creating the brand, from the actual naming convention to the route to market, packaging, innovation (MCC, Prestige, and coming up with the concept of BNG Nectar – the sparkling wine in a can), the distribution strategy (in which we secured listings in key retailers), creation of the brand CI and the securing of all event partnerships.”

However, after a two-year legal battle with her former management company, it seems that Matheba has come out victorious. This is as she took to social media to share the winter campaign for House of BNG.

Moreover, she made it clear in a very Bonang way that her battle with CSA over her MCC sparkling wine brand is officially over.

….a heist gone wrong!! Lol!! The End. ?

PIC: Bonang’s alleged new handsome man stuns Mzansi

Mzansi media personality Bonang Matheba has shot to the top of Twitter trends because it was announced that she is joining the cast of the Netflix reality show Young Famous and African. Naturally, social media users are watching her every move and haven’t stopped buzzing after she shared a heartwarming birthday wish with a handsome mystery man named Gemaen Taylor.

The post left people flocking to the comment section to ask the TV and radio presenter whether or not the young man is her latest love interest.

The B-force have not stopped buzzing over the mystery man that Bonang Matheba took the time out of her busy schedule to wish a happy birthday on Tuesday this week.

“Happy birthday baby. I love you,” wrote the starlet who has been keeping her love life completely under wraps for the last couple of years.

Happy birthday baby. I love you. ❤️ https://t.co/osZAk4k5lh

— Bonang Matheba ? (@Bonang) May 9, 2023

Naturally, many have made assumptions about whether the man is Queen B’s not so undercover lover.

“La jola? Coz he is responding I love you to a few people so I don’t wanna assume,” wrote one person while another added:

“Haibo..love is a beautiful thing.”

Of course there were a few people in the comment section who asked about Bonang’s taste for wealthy Nigerian men.

Some even slammed the starlet for running back to SA men.

“After jollof brothers they always come back to our local brothers,” wrote a troll while another added:

“Noo leave this young boy alone Nigerians have f*cked you up now you want our young boys nooo”

Tweeps Believe This Is Bonang’s New Man

Bonang Matheba has returned to the limelight in South Africa with much fanfare. This is as Queen B again proved why she is considered the only real “celebrity” in the country as she trended at the top of the trends list as her next-level venture has been revealed and confirmed.

As reported:

Netflix has released the official teaser for the second season of the hit unscripted reality series, Young, Famous & African.
This season sees the return of Africa’s most famous and fabulous, as they embrace life and love on the richest square mile on the continent. This time, however, a few new faces promise to make their mark in Africa’s most elite group.

South Africa’s entertainment industry darling Bonang Matheba will also make an appearance this season and her presence certainly ruffle a few feathers. Fantana, Ghanaian-American rapper and all-around superstar who quickly makes her mark on the group, and Luis Munana from Namibia, former Big Brother Africa contestant and entrepreneur extraordinaire who brings the heat from the onset.

At the time of her upcoming appearance on Young, Rich, and African, Matheba also provided an update on episode two of her YouTube-based reality show B*Dazzled 2.0. However, it was the video that showed Bonang shooting content for the show which got the attention of her followers.

Tweeps think this is Bonang’s, new man

Bonang was captured by a fan at Clicks shooting content for the second episode of B*Dazzled 2.0. The video was of interest for a couple of reasons. First, it was the touching moment of the worker taking the video and her shaky voice of disbelief that they got to see Bonang in real life.

However, for tweeps, it seems that the man accompanying Matheba was of more interest. This is because it is assumed that the mystery man in question happens to be Matheba’s, new man.

As such, there was discourse as to why Bonang does not receive the same vitriol that a number of South African women receive when they are dating men from North Africa. A narrative that had the B*Force explaining that the difference is that Matheba is dating said men allegedly not for money but because it is her choice.

Lmaooooo yeyi the hypocrisy

— Mamtimande (@SibaAtSea) April 18, 2023

While Matheba has neither confirmed nor denied the suggestions that the man in the video is actually her new man, she did return to Twitter to make it clear that she is aware of the ongoing speculation on her dating life. This is as she suggestively returned to Twitter to make it clear that the jacket she was wearing on the video was designed by Rich Mnisi.

Bonang head over heels in love

Last year, Bonang Matheba had a tumultuous year. In what was considered one of her most “quite eras” considering that she did not dominate headlines and hosting gigs as she used to in the past. A fact which could have to do with the matter of her legal battles in order to assert the ownership of her sparkling wine brand, House of BNG.

In 2022, Matheba would only occasionally grab headlines. Whether it was when she hosted Global Citizen as her first big gig of 2022, or becoming the ambassador of Nivea following the matter of her without makeup trending, or most recently, her collaboration with Steve Madden.

Matheba in 2022 did not do what she is most beloved for by her fanbase, and that is television presenting and hosting. Nor did she return to radio as since she left Metro FM in a huff a years back, calls for her to return to radio have been abundant.

I hope we get an entire different show. Being Bonang international on steroids. https://t.co/CwiEzt7XPc

Bonang should try us out with a proper talk show this year. All the country has is that terrible podcast

— Mmabatho (@MmabathoMaju) January 3, 2023

But now it seems that her absence from the public eye might have to do with the fact that Matheba is in love and is looking to preserve her relationship and the privacy thereof as long as possible.

…celebrating NYE with the LOML is peak life!! ?❤️ Hope you had a peaceful crossover… here’s to an epic 2023. May all your dreams come true! ???

— Bonang Matheba ? (@Bonang) January 1, 2023

As such, while there is mystery surrounding this man. At least there has been a citing of Matheba recently as fans of the media personality were calling for her return on social media as she seems to have taken a break even from posting on Instagram.

I was so star struck! Omg ?♥️ pic.twitter.com/3TFrttmgme

Bonang responds to claims she’s pregnant

Mzansi media personality Bonang Matheba is allegedly expecting a bundle of joy. This follows after her cousin Pinky Girl posted a snap of the two of them and Bonang’s stomach had a little bump.

According to Zimoja, Bonang said that she had just had a tequila when the picture was taken from a bad angle. She says she was just out having fun with friends at a restaurant.

The businesswoman said, “I’m not pregnant Bathong! I just had a tequila for crying out loud!”

The publication also reports that a source says Bonang has a lot happening for her at the moment and the last thing she needs is to be pregnant in December when she makes more money.

“She is super busy this time of the year, people are happy there are too many celebrations happening around and she has many appearances to make, I don’t think having a child is an option,” says the source.

TA friend added that Bonang will only have a child later on in life because she is currently busy.

The source however also told Zimoja that even tough Queen B has been linked to one of the popular deejays said she is not planning on settling down anytime soon.

“[Queen Bee] is self-sufficient and wants to be on top of her game all the time, She is well travelled and too ambitious and her brand is still relevant. She will probably have a child or children later in her life just like the likes of Naomi Campbell and other successful women” reports the publication.

Bonang dragged into DJ Zinhle & Pearl Thusi fight

South African media personality Bonang Matheba finds herself catching strays following DJ Zinhle and Pearl Thusi‘s last night video. The pair is currently trending on Twitter and Bonang Matheba is dragged into their mess for absolutely no reason.

Social media is abuzz following DJ Zinhle and Pearl Thusi’s video last night at Nomuzi ‘Moozlie’ Mabena’s birthday celebrations. Although both Pearl Thusi and DJ ZInhle have come forward to clear the air, while DJ Zinhle has rubbished the claims that she was mean to Pearl Thusi.

Bonang Matheba finds herself getting drag into the social media squabble between DJ Zinhle and Pearl Thusi. As many tweeps believe that DJ Zinhle and Pearl Thusi’s friendship did not have any foundation apart from having a common enemy which was Bonang Matheba.

Pearl Thusi and Dj Zinhle were never really friends, that friendship was built on their mutual hate for AKA and Bonang, Dj Zinhle got over the hate and fixed things with the baby daddy. The friendship ended because nothing common was left.

— Dr The thread GOAT. ? (@kjnr_khumalo) September 22, 2022

“Pearl Thusi deserves way better, she has a good heart. Yes we know she forced that fake friendship from the beginning and their common enemy was Bonang. Dj Zinhle is very bossy and controlling that’s why she befriends and dates people that are younger than her” wrote Lindz Nkwali.

Some tweeps do recall at the height of DJ Zinhle, AKA and Bonang Matheba saga, Pearl Thusi was very vocal and she went on to fight some of DJ Zinhle’s battles. Which led to the birth of their friendship, to a certain extent.

Pearl thusi was fighting zinhle battles to be treated like this? My girl went on live to fight aka and Bonang for nothing??

— SofaSgijima✊? (@MavusoNikita) September 22, 2022

Pearl Thusi and Dj Zinhle only became friends because their common enemy was Bonang and now there's nothing that brings them closer anymore. pic.twitter.com/635pdicrtq

— Leigh (@Leigh_CKS) September 22, 2022

Pearl Thusi’s shady response to DJ Zinhle is proof enough that there is bad blood between the two. Pearl Thusi retweeted DJ Zinhle and basically shaded her from what she previously wrote, which has also gotten tweeps talking.

I’m actually so confused. I thought it was obvious that you guys were busy and I just decided to get out of the way. How it got to this point baffles me. Wild. That time we had so much fun. ??‍♀️ https://t.co/PyuOe76RtE
