'Young, Famous & African': Fans furious over Bonang's 'degrading and demeaning' bullying tactics against Luis Munana

The drama escalated when Bonang tried to label fellow newcomer Luis Munana as a 'misogynist' drawing criticism from all corners

SANDTON, JOHANNESBURG: Prepare for a whirlwind of drama as the captivating world of 'Young, Famous & African' takes a surprising turn with the unexpected arrival of Bonang Matheba. However, it seems that the cast has failed to shower this beloved South African celebrity with the affection she deserves. Nadia Nakai, Annie, and Khanyi Mbau, in particular, gave Bonang a frosty reception, leaving fans perplexed and disappointed. The drama escalated when Bonang tried to label fellow newcomer Luis Munana as a "misogynist" drawing criticism from all corners.

Bonang, or Queen B as she is fondly known, made her stance clear by swiftly exiting the WhatsApp group, reminding everyone that she was not there to tolerate any "bullsh*t." However, it was her handling of the situation with Luis that truly earned her the label of being 'childish' in the eyes of fans. When Luis stepped up and apologized for a past mistake, Bonang's response was explosive, filled with rage and anger. In a shocking twist, she resorted to bullying Luis, leaving viewers stunned and questioning her actions.

Bonang bullies Luis Munana over a misunderstanding 

Before Bonang and Luis' fateful meeting, Luis couldn't help but spill the beans to his close group of friends, revealing a rocky history he had with Bonang. It all began when he was a fresh-faced 23-year-old, eagerly diving into the event management business. He apparently had the grand task of organizing accommodations for big-name celebrities flying in from across the country. However, in a twist of fate, he forgot to secure a place for Bonang, causing her to swiftly fly out in disappointment. Luis acknowledges his fault, recognizing that Bonang's reaction was justified.

But oh, how the plot thickens! Swanky, a member of the guy gang, decided to twist the truth and concocted a tale for Bonang. According to Swanky's version of events, Bonang allegedly demanded flowers and had a laundry list of other extravagant requests during an event that Luis had organized. This fabricated narrative planted a seed of doubt in Bonang's mind, making her believe that Luis was a deceitful liar long before they even had a chance to meet in person. Nevertheless, fate had a dinner at Swanky's in store for them, where Luis had the opportunity to speak to Bonang directly and clear the air.

But alas, the atmosphere turned sour. Luis, ever respectful and willing to take responsibility for his mistakes, remained calm and owned up to his previous blunders. On the other hand, Bonang, driven by frustration, unleashed a tantrum that inadvertently transformed into bullying toward Luis. The clash of personalities escalated, leaving both parties caught in a whirlwind of emotions and misunderstandings. After this Bonang left not only the Whatsapp group but also the show. 

'Bonang could've done better'

As the drama unfolded, fans didn't hold back in calling out Bonang for her behavior towards Luis, sparking a heated debate. One fan empathized with Luis, observing, "The way Luis went from Hulk to a little puppy when Bonang attacked him... I feel so bad for him." The intensity of the situation was not lost on the audience, as another fan expressed their disappointment, stating, "Bonang bullied Luis, it was demeaning, degrading, and there was no room for misogyny in that. It's sad because she's everyone's favorite, and many won't call out that behavior!" Bonang's actions were scrutinized further, with fans pointing out her immaturity. One fan exclaimed, "Bonang is childish. So just because the Luis guy is following her, that means he's stalking her? Girl, she feels herself too much. Kamoo baby mama tsa Andile di’childish you!" The criticism continued, as fans believed that Bonang could have handled the situation better. "Bonang could've done better with how she addressed Luis, honestly," expressed another fan, reflecting the general sentiment. The role of Swanky, a friend caught in the middle, didn't escape scrutiny either. Displeased with Swanky's actions, one fan commented, "Swanky is so messy. Why did he have to lie like that?" The dynamics between the individuals involved also revealed underlying issues, as a perceptive fan noted, "Why did Bonang say Luis came 'fresh out of the desert'? That comment reeks of classism."
