There’s the online shaming, the new love in her life, the hundred tweets a day and above all, her brand. But who is the real Bonang Matheba?
In the Marie Claire July issue, MC editor Jackie May sat down with Bonang, the media personality who we see so often but about whom we know so little.
Over a drink at the Morrell’s Boutiqe Estate in Johannesburg, the 28-year-old media company owner and brand ambassador focused on the positives in her life, including her relationship with South African hip hop artist AKA, how she spends her downtime and the most important thing to her right now – her career.

But for the first time Bonang also shares her emotional reaction the online shaming that she’s experienced on social media earlier this year, and on numerous other occasions. She chooses to remain silent – to not engage with her online haters.

How does she feel about how people perceive her?  ‘They think I’m an ice queen. They don’t know anything.’
