From relocating to the US and moving back to South Africa following the breakdown between herself and her former management CSA, which she joined in 2017. Moreover, with her ending her contract with CSA, she had to deal with the matter of the attempt to nudge her out of her successful alcoholic brand House of BNG. 

 

However, it seems that in 2023, Matheba is ready to focus on making headlines for all the right reasons as she secures as many bags as she can this year. 

In an effort to give people what they want, Bonang announced her first “new” venture of this year. “New” as the announcement was not necessarily of a new product or show, but instead a revival. This is Queen B* confirmed the return of her first and original YouTube-based reality show, B’Dazzled.

Back in 2011, Bonang Matheba launched her own reality show on YouTube titled B*Dazzled. The format of the show followed Matheba throughout her busy life then as a radio DJ and television presenter. However, as her profile increased she stopped producing episodes of the show for YouTube.

While Matheba did eventually return to reality television with Being Bonang, B*Dazzled was still the measuring stick that she was held to maintain. As such, with Matheba’s distrust for production houses due to the unmanaged matter which resulted in the surprising end of Being Bonang, Matheba came back with B*Dazzled  2.0.
