Queen B Breakup Rumours Swirl Online

Bonang Matheba, one of South Africa’s most glamorous media personalities, found herself at the centre of social media speculation this week after rumours surfaced that she and her boyfriend, David Phume, had split.

Fans began to suspect a rift after noticing that Bonang and David had unfollowed each other on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). The gossip gained traction when blogger Musa Khawula highlighted David’s absence from Bonang’s 38th birthday dinner — reportedly hosted by her mother, Charlotte Mokoena.

Musa Khawula Adds Fuel to the Fire

“Bonang Matheba has been dating David Phume but last night David Phume was nowhere to be seen to celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday,” wrote Musa Khawula. “You would also notice that David Phume and Bonang Matheba have unfollowed each other on social media.”

Bonang Breaks Her Silence — with a Tweet

Just as rumours gained momentum, Bonang addressed the speculation with a simple yet powerful tweet:

“…my man said, holidayyyyy!! ✈️ 🇯🇵”

The post confirmed that not only are Bonang and David still together — they’re also enjoying a romantic getaway in Japan.

Bonang’s Tweet: A Masterclass in PR

In true Queen B fashion, the tweet was direct and elegant. Bonang has consistently shown she knows how to navigate public attention — turning speculation into stylish storytelling. No press release needed, just a jet-setting emoji and a flawless one-liner.

Final Thoughts: Still Going Strong

Despite a social media unfollow and some online gossip, Bonang Matheba and David Phume seem more united than ever. With a luxury trip to Japan on the cards, it’s clear the couple is writing their own story — away from the noise.

So, is Bonang Matheba single? Definitely not.
