Bonang Matheba is considered one of the only ZAlebs in the country that deserve to call themselves a celebrity in the same esteem as Hollywood A-Listers. However, considering that the personality has been in the entertainment industry for close to two decades now. She, like other ZAlebs, have undergone a number of transformations in terms of her image.
However, in the digital world we live in, throwback images can be a site for a good laugh or ridiculing someone for their past looks. Matheba has recently been the casualty of exactly that as an image from her past has been circulated.
One of the most controversial moments of 2015 was when Bonang Matheba and Kiernan “AKA” Forbes made their relationship official following speculation over the two’s relationship at the time. The news of their relationship created a media furore as it was confirmed off the back of AKA’s assumed girlfriend at the time, DJ Zinhle was pregnant.
At the time, Bonang and AKA, went on a media campaign to validate their relationship. As such, the images and content that was shared at the time was aimed at giving couple goals. However, recently, a tweep seemed to have found an “unapproved” image of Matheba and AKA which has gone viral as the tweep asked whether this was Matheba or the late Kuli Roberts.
However, the biggest point of contention for many with the image was the matter of Matheba's knock knees, or as commonly referred to in South Africa as kiss-kiss madolo.
😭😭😭😭 if I had never seen that kiss kiss before I wouldn't believe it.
It seems that fans as Matheba would have it, have all but forgotten that this is the natural shape of Matheba legs. However, the media personality and acclaimed host has been conscious of distracting people from the fact.
Whether it is through wearing long dresses and pants, or that her poses are as such that her kiss-kiss is not prominent. Matheba has mastered this illusion so much that many have forgotten.
But this is not the first time recently that Matheba has faced “body shaming. As previously reported:
While reality TV star Bonang Matheba may have bagged yet another bag at her fans expense. Instead of her fans celebrating with her, things have rather taken a different direction as tweeps are gunning for Bonang Matheba's head on a silver platter.
Certainly tweeps are not jumping for joy, following the video and stills from her collaboration with the brand Nivea and their newest Luminous630 cream range. The anger came from, Bonang Matheba being seen applying the Nivea Lumunos630 cream on her face that is clearly covered with make-up.
But Bonang did shut this body shaming down when she then took to her social media and shared what she looks like barefaced and without a filter or a shred of makeup.
