On home ground. however, Bonang has had to fight a hard battle after she fired her celebrity management agency.
Sunday Times reported Bonang found herself embroiled in a multimillion-rand fight over her sparkling wine brand House of BNG, which her camp claimed she was muscled out of by her former agency.
The TV personality, who moved to New York in May, took to Twitter to give her fans a glimpse into her battle with agency and celebrity management group Celebrity Services Africa (CSA). She announced she had terminated her contract with CSA and had taken legal action against the global agency, saying she had “instructed my lawyers to investigate the possibility of criminal conduct by the company and its representatives”.
CSA Global hit back at Bonang's accusations, dismissing them as without merit and accusing her or telling half-truths about the situation.
In a statement sent to TshisaLIVE, CSA reiterated their earlier statement with regards to the matter.
“Per our statement issued, Ms Matheba is in breach of multiple contracts with some clients as she has been absent to these brands, and indeed her own, for the past six months. The matter is with our legal team, who are awaiting a response to letters sent to Ms Matheba's lawyer.
“We are not in the business of destroying brands, but rather in the business of building them. However, we do believe in the merits of contracts and believe agreed-upon terms should be respected and honoured.
“We do hope an amicable solution can be found, where the value that has been created is not undermined or discredited. Nonetheless, we are sad there has been a parting of ways. We look back with fond memories at the achievements we made together and wish Bonang every success.”
The matter is ongoing.
