Bonang Matheba opens up about her tumultuous year

2012 is the year that Bonang laid assault charges against Euphonik, who was then her boyfriend. In her relaunched book Bonang From A to B, she lays it all bear.

“Sometimes you can be going through the best and worst times, all at the same time, and that’s what 2012 was for me, because a part of my personal life was falling apart, while the best part of my career was falling into place… I never anticipated how badly I would be treated when the story of my break up leaked. It was one of the most painful experiences and sometimes I am not sure how I survived.”

In her first version of the book, she talked about her former best friend Somizi and made reference to Euphonik. The book was later recalled back due to grammatical and factual errors. Both Somizi and Euphonik sent her legal letters asking that she remove any reference to them.

The new version excluded them. It is however quite clear that when she speaks about 2012 being a tumultuous year for her,it is in relation to Euphonik. After dropping the charges, Bonang was called a liar with Euphonik maintaining his innocence, despite being called an abuser.

“I was embarrassed, humiliated, and ill prepared in how to deal with my very first scandal. To this day, I am called a liar.”
