Thing is, the MAMAs are supposed to be fun awards. Bonang will host it as if it’s a corporate gig – but that’s just me.

Others are excited and motivated…
Bonang Matheba accepting MTV’s request to host #MAMAS at such short notice is a motivation itself. Someone would’ve said it’s too late ♥♥

@thandiwear @Bheka_904 @KingGee24 comedians tend to be boring cause they try too hard as well, rather go for a natural host like Bonang

BONANG MATHEBA CAN ACCEPT WHATEVER BOOKING SHE IS OFFERED AND YOU CAN’T DO SHIT ABOUT IT.
