It appears that the best friends duo, Bonang Matheba and her cousin, DJ Pinky Girl (real name Tebogo Mekgwe), are at loggerheads.
The pair are usually inseparable and this has been seen in their posts on their social media and Bonang’s reality show Being Bonang. However, this love and support for each other has whittled down over the last few years.
The two vented their frustrations on Twitter for the whole world to see this week. In the past, people have played on the term that Pinky, who has tried to make a career in music, is just Bonang’s “handbag”.
Bonang and Pinky Girl’s beef
The discourse started on Monday, when Bonang tweeted a read-between-the-lines post, which read: “She has a visa, but isn’t vaccinated! I’m tayad [tired]!
Bonang didn’t say who she was referring to, however, Pinky Girl responded to the tweet in a passive-aggressive manner.
“WOW is it me again??? I’m tayad too. [The] model is vaccinated. Safe travel[s].”
Bonang further vented her frustration at people who are unable to travel the world because they are not vaccinated.

She wrote: “Missing out on trips around the world because you’re unvaccinated. Ridiculous”.
The ‘Queen B’, as she is affectionately known, revealed she needs to go to the United States of America and travelling to this country you need to be vaccinated.
Pinky Girl aired her frustrations on Tuesday saying she was tired as well and has been quiet for too long.
The reality star then claimed she had been blocked, unfollowed and “dragged” for no reason. Comments Bonang did not respond to, as the presenter tweeted she had taken her flight to the US.
Inseparable
Pinky Girl appeared on all three seasons of Being Bonang’s reality show before the show was stopped on 1Magic in 2019.
Viewers got to see how close Bonang and Pinky Girl are, through their highs and lows. They repeatedly attend events together including holidays.
Fans weren’t happy to see their beef or misunderstanding taken to social media. While others commented that Pinky Girl was “ungrateful” for the career afforded to her by Bonang.
