A VERY BONANG YEAR

Bonang’s extraordinary year captured in never-before-seen content, in a two-part reality show special on SABC1.

A new two part special, A Very Bonang Year – which follows SA’s biggest media personality, Bonang Matheba, on her global adventures - will broadcast on SABC 1 in August, giving fans a unique insight into what was Bonang's most powerful year yet.

Complete with exclusive content, in A Very Bonang Year, fans get to join Bonang on her ‘global expansion’ as she journeys from Prague to London, Manchester, New York and Los Angeles and back to SA, getting an insider glimpse into her daily life and being upfront at larger-than-life events.

A Very Bonang Year includes never-before-seen footage, from business meetings to events and photo-shoots, along with all the style & glamour Bonang is synonymous with. In New York Bonang attends a screening with Angelina Jolie and a red carpet event with Trevor Noah while, in LA, she is introduced as an honoured guest by Oscar-nominated actor, Djimon Hounsou (“Blood Diamond”; “Furious 7”) to a room filled with entertainment personalities at a gala for the global environmental organisation, Wild Aid, in Beverly Hills.

“I’m so excited to have a special on SABC 1. It’ll be very different from Being Bonang because even if viewers have followed my journey, the show goes beyond social media with a behind-the-scenes look into a new chapter in my business career & life. I am taking viewers into my confidence,” says Bonang.

Viewers get to see Bonang become the first African talent to pick up the E! Entertainment “African Influencer of the Year” Award, and then go apartment hunting in New York City with the help of celebrity real estate agents.

Also, on the itinerary are Prague where Bonang attends the Global Social Media Awards and the UK for the international premiere of her documentary, Public Figure. In New York, Bonang tops it all off with an interview on America’s biggest radio show, The Breakfast Club.

To flight on SABC 1 in Women’s Month, the Special also sees Bonang in a more first-hand light as she balances life, family and career. In doing so, viewers & fans will also gain unfiltered insight into Bonang’s thinking as to where she wants her extraordinary career to lead in this exclusive two part special.

Catch the much-anticipated premier in a two-part series on Friday, 1 August 18:00 on SABC 1 with part two to be broadcast on 8 August 18:00. There will also be a rebroadcast of A Very Bonang Year on SABC1 on Monday the 3rd and 10th August at 14h00.
