Bonang Matheba faces backlash for Ghana gig
Social media has been buzzing recently after Bonang Matheba's picture draped in Gucci from head to toe stunned many of her fans. Not so long ago, the media personality became the talk of the town after it was announced that she has a gig in Ghana over a proposed anti-LGBTQ bill.
The media personality was then faced with backlash as many netizens questioned her decision to accept the gig in Ghana while 80% of her fan base is the pride community.
A Twitter (X) user @AwisiDede posted the poster of Matheba's gig and wrote:
"Do you know that @Bonang is already in Ghana for @womenofvalour_ tomorrow? Her exclusive interview is at 9am. Tune in."

@Donda_Makhathin shared:
"It’s yall being shocked for me, she once called a gay a meisiekind and y'all laughed instead of calling her out. She has never even posted happy Pride Month."
@skumbiixoxo commented:
"Taking a job in a country that illegalised the LGBTQ+ community when your fan base largely consists of 80% of gays is wilddd!"
@Malandela_RSA responded:
"Lol Beyonce performed in the UAE, another place where being part of the LGBT community is a crime. Celebrities are chasing the bag. Don't expect them to have the same political views as you just because you have a parasocial relationship with them."
@BlueTheDogDad tweeted:
"This is so disappointing @Bonang."
@EminentGrey mentioned:
"Meanwhile her fan base consists largely of the same LGBTQ folk that Ghana is persecuting. Hm."
