This time last year, Bonang Matheba was just weeks away from the launch of her bestselling House of BNG bubbly, which she debuted at an exclusive upper echelon gathering attended by a bevy of South Africa’s biggest celebrities.

And just days into 2020, the media darling proved her chops are sharper than ever as she stunned an A-lister filled audience at the Soundcity MVP Awards Festival!

Held in Lagos, Nigeria at the Eko Convention Centre, the glitzy shindig honoured the finest in the African music industry. Our golden girl piloted the show, and kept everyone stunned with her multiple outfit changes.
