Bonang Matheba wins global social media award

The event is a celebration and honouring of popular figures from the world of social media.


TV personality Bonang Matheba flew the African flag high Wednesday night when she won the coveted award for best Inspiration and Influence at the Global Social Awards held in Prague, Czech Republic.

“It is such an honour to be acknowledged in this way and to bring Africa front and centre of world attention. I couldn’t be more thrilled,” says Bonang.
