Bonang Matheba might be in the US currently. However, the media personality has seemingly appointed herself as the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture watchdog. This is as if she is not keeping her eye on the current Minister Zizi Kodwa following her celebration of the axing of Nathi Mathethwa, it seems that she is checking the performances of our national teams.
In the past Matheba was part of the advocacy to see the female soccer team Banyana Banyana get their flowers and monetary remunerations following their win Women’s Africa Cup of Nations back in 2022. Now with the AFCON underway, it seems that Matheba is keeping an eye on the national team’s performance.
“Batlo jewa in the next game” - Bonang Matheba
On Tuesday, 28 March 2023, Bafana Bafana was playing against Liberia in order to qualify for the upcoming AFCON Cup. As such, given the recent performance of the national men’s team, confidence is not high in the country in terms of the team’s performance.
However, it seems that the team did pull out a surprise when they manage to clinch a win against Liberia as the match ended with a 2-1 score. As such, with relief, Matheba like the rest of the country breathed in a sigh of relief following the team’s performance.
A tweet which proved just how influential Matheba is as Bafana Bafana took to Twitter to thank Matheba for acknowledging their win. It seems that the team has the fear of being on Matheba’s bad books, which did not fare well for since-ex Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture.
But after being acknowledged by Bafana Bafana’s social media account. Matheba was part of the debbie-downers who then took to the timeline to suggest that being celebratory might be premature. This is as she, like most of the public, were weary in terms of how long can the team keep its momentum.
This is as Matheba then suggested that there was no point in being happy with the performance of the team as they will most likely lose in their upcoming match. And given their past performances, there were not a lot of comments that attempted to defend the national men’s soccer team.
…ba tlo jewa in the next game, so it doesn’t really matter. ❤️
Matheba also addressed when fans can expect the second episode of B*Dazzled 2.0. This is as there has not been a second episode posted since the first episode over two months ago when Matheba promised to be consistent with her YouTube uploads when launching the revamped reality show back in January 2023.
Instead, it seems that Matheba has been focussed on whatever ventures she is working on in the United States of America and has not gotten around to approving the release of the second episode. As such, she has earmarked that it is her return to South Africa which will mark her time to upload and publish the second episode.
As to when that will be, all Queen B* shared was “soon come,” and so her fans will wait until soon does come.
