Respect Aus Ntsiki, she called this whole Bonang situation, and was attacked for it

Hectic. Make money watching ads. Payouts are guaranteed.

We support BONANG. Sparkling wine is everywhere and thes some that taste even better than BNG. Don't know how companies think the support they currently getting with bonang being the face will continue if Bonang is not part of the Brand.Its a bad strategy. Greed always backfires

Is it her brand or she is a brand ambassador?

Eyhooo

😰😰🙏🙏

Modern slavery

This story. 😭

ThembiMrototo LOL, she never owned it!

🔌 de_Qorium buka lelilizwe lakho bafo....

Angeke ngi sa yithenga azange ngayi thenga vele

So ba tsamaile ka yena vele

Face

Can't be certain House of BNB sales will be plummeting because Bonang. They should spike instead if someone is smart enough.

When we asked who are actual owners of the brand, people said we are jealous. Next it will be Boity, Pearl and the Newzroom Africa channel. U guys dont know what it takes to establish such big companies or brands

So uBonang wanted to be the one who breaks the news to us the other day before the journalists change the whole story🤔

Gyz this just goes back to lack of business knowledge to Bonang and sabotage by her management/team. She unfortunately got scammed

BEE fronting is dangerous. We thought Ntsikie was jealous 🤔

Unf*cken believable

I am sorry Ntsiki for not buying your story

And I honestly thought that she was smart enough to know that there is a thing called 'FRONTING'?

Bathong... Yena a re Champo lompo lompomoo lona la re sparkling wine.

Fronting for ANC heavyweights is dangerous. We all know who funded the project. For now let me zip

Such a shame how white owned companies continue to gatekeep industries. To appear progressive AND sell to the majority, they pull in names & faces to front. We're all too excited to get the toe in the market. But just you stray, they'll be sure to show you who the real boss is 😪

Probably had spelling mistakes somewhere.

They are done using her as a front...black people never learn..

the problem with south African celebrities they won't to look like rich American entertainers instead of creating their own thing they will be proud of

LA CASA DE PAPEL!

Seems like it's going to be a long LEGAL battle. I hope all goes well for Bonang, 🤞 she worked very hard for the House of Bonang brand.

I don't think she was a 360 degrees front. work on the industry before. Sparkling wine its not complex to own your own Brand & its not expensive. She can afforded on her own as things stand she was roped in to the deal & for her name. That where she got it wrong.

You can’t be muscled out of something that you never owned to begin with.

Now that they got their mileage they are cutting her out. Wow

nanimelamu Mate, did you see this?

Tell them we won’t bother buying it ! We buy it For “Bonang” if she Ain’t part of It ! We Out Too !

Until we as black people own means of production, we will always het a raw deal. It always get messy when a business arrangement goes sour, now the dirty laundry is aired and it's gonna get messy. 😬

Kanti ezicontract bazifundelwa ngobani na OBonang?

Her name is still there. Does it not have to be paid for

If you watch Uzalo , iswidiElimnandi storyline should give you a clear idea why Bonang should have went that route instead of fronting for House of BNG

There's nothing new here, a lot of celebrities have done the same. B0nang is being done dirty, BNG wouldn't be as popular if it wasn't for her. Anyway, I hope black celebrities stop aligning themselves with yt businesses

CSAglobal_ how could you sies!!!! Maan

Well I knew a year ago that she doesn’t own BNG, how come she didn’t. Don’t people ever read contracts.

Ntsiki Mazwai told us but we said she's jealous 🤐

There's this thing called 'Intellectual property' Please business people..✍ Remember that Bafana Bafana saga🤔

Are you saying Her sparkling wine

The way Queen B stans Dragged Ntsiki for telling the truth 😂😂😂💀

Wow that's bold naming something HOBNG and you don't even run it.

So she didn't own that wineyard? 😕

🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Hlengiwe_EJ

Ntsiki told her ...one thing about South Africans we enjoy looking successful instead of actually being successful

Ohh my

If they muscle Bonang out of this, we must stop buying it WOOLWORTHS_SA.

Ntsiki has been vindicated

Bonang just say the word and I stop ✋ buying this, ASAP.

Whether you like it or not, there's no real businesswoman who is a successful multimillionaire, they are all just condoms nje🤞🏾👌🏾 VodkaNation

Sunday times subscribers kopa screenshot sa full article

They hve been robbing a lot of people these ones trust me

So this is the End of BNG 🥴 Maku celwe uXolo kuSis ntsikimazwai 😪

So this means she was just a face🤔

The Queen' yeah neh ziyakhala ke manje

Where is boity n her cider

So Cassper Nyovest is the only one who know how to read contracts properly

ntsikimazwai come this side we should start listening when you talk.

These agencies in SA be very selfish.

Sosie2 Legend Casper nyovest done his homework on this deals.

Screenshots please. We don't buy that newspaper anymore 🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️

Fronting is the downfall of us being used by europeans ntsikimazwai you were accused of so many things when you spoke about this

Sibhanxiwe ke apha... Uphi u Ntsiki Mazwai.... Wayetshilo mos.... Wine farm yona... Eish

You once said lomntwana wabantu is jealous AKERE OK anyway M not her spokesperson 🤜🤛

ntsikimazwai Yaz andiyazi abantu bakuthatha serious nini.

fronting

== Are SOUTH AFRICAN ARTIST has a team which look on their deals they are making? First AKA with REEBOK n COOKING SHOW now BONANG with WINE PPL?

Mthura_Khosi ntsikimazwai told you all but still you didn't listen,that white man in the background has her by the scrotum

ntsikimazwai forever spitting facts but y’all just argue and hate her !!

Ave nincishana nezindaba ay

Wine distillery and celebrities do not mix. Distillers sweat, wear khaki clothes, run up and down with bakkies in the grape fields etc which is a total opposite of Bonang.

So there's no longer gonna be BNG?

Ba motabotse

She would need a good lawyer, tsotsis have started their nonsense to capture her hardwork. It was only a matter of time before they do. She must squeeze them out of her brand.

Why is ntsikimazwai not trending already on a Sunday morning? 😂😂😂😂

It had scientific ingredients in it so clearly it was not hers.....

I don't even know the whole story 😂 😂 but If I were Bonang I'd definitely do my own shit, what she waiting for. Show these thugs what you made off .

Thixo wam

It's not her sparkling wine,they are were just using her name coz she is a brand!!!

ThoboKerekang

Niyimisunu nonke apha 😑

Umntu omnyama akafuni ubona umntu omnyama aya phezulu..... On the comments 😏

BEE deal gone wrong

ntsikimazwai

eshelldk

Akavule i'space for into ekhona manje Boer ayaqeda ngaye

Ngwana ko gae Bonang please come this side. Ba bua ka wena

Does this bonang even know how how wine is made? I guess no!

Yhoo I hope this isn’t true. She’s worked hard to build her brand.

Results of fronting agreements. Ake happy shem.
