But it seems that Queen B* is slowly coming back to social media, or Twitter at least. This is as she took to the blue app to celebrate the milestone made by her MCC alcoholic beverage House of BNG.
Back in 2018, Bonang Matheba finally became victorious in terms of her “girls with vineyards” tagline when she introduced her MCC sparkling wine House of BNG. By 2019, the MCC was touted as the best-selling Woolies wine, as at the time, it was exclusively available at Woolies stores.
Two years later, Bonang and the brand changed the game when it introduced the canned version of the MCC sparkling wines which was initially only available in the “champagne” glass bottle. A fact which has seen the brand grow into one of the most popular alcoholic beverages in the country.
As such, Matheba took to Twitter to celebrate that in January 2023, the cans alone sold over 500 000 units. She did not share how much the glass bottle have sold.
…we sold 500 000 cans in January alone. Ya’ll love some @houseofbng huh?!! Insane. I’m so happy. Thank you thank you. 🥂🥰
However, the milestone is a victory for Moghel considering that 2022, House of BNG faced a number of scandals. The biggest of which was the possibility of Bonang almost losing her successful alcohol brand. As reported at the time:
The Queen B has not shied away from using her social media platforms to call people into order and this week she went on a rampage against a lot of people. Minister Nathi Mthethwa and CSA Global founder Davin Philips endured the heat the most. Yesterday, media personality and businesswoman Bonang Matheba trended throughout the day for dragging both Nathi and Davin, and online users are still concerned as to why and how the television presenter is still fighting for her company, The House of BNG.
Bonang, months later is still fighting for ownership of her company, premium MCC brand The House of BNG against her former talent management company CSA Global. The star called out the director of the company on social media with claims that he had “stolen” from her as a talent many times and that he wasn’t involved in the development of the sparkling wine.
However, considering that Bonang is still publicly endorsing and promoting the brand. It seems that the matter has now been laid to rest and Queen B* has been righted as the owner of the House of BNG.
