WATCH: Bonang and Rorisang Thandekiso’s awkward meeting

A video of former child star Rorisang Thandekiso meeting and greeting television personality Bonang Matheba has surfaced and South Africa is cringing at the awkward encounter.

The video was shared on Twitter last night and has since then reached 224,000 views, 393 comments, and 1,492 quoted replies.

The video is of star Rorisang spotting Bonang in what seems to be a restaurant, approaching her and then posing with her in the video while giving off “who is this person, and what is happening” facial expressions.
