You just had a big birthday, what are you aspiring to for yourself for the next 3 decades ahead?

Haaaa. Three decades. I’m definitely going to write a second book, I want my book tour to do well.

I want my app and my emojis to explode and become an amazing thing on their own. In September I have a makeup range coming out, Bonang Favorites together with Revlon. They’ve put together, all my favorites like nail enamel and lip colours that’s my own collection.

The next three decades I’m going to really, really put my heart and soul into Bonang Matheba Entertainment which is my production company, and lean more into production, and not so much to being on TV.

I want to start telling other people’s stories. After I’ve told my own, I want to see how people react to it and hopefully those people will give me a bit of confidence in telling their stories on television.

The first episode of the 11 episode Being Bonang is scene setting for the rest of the series. It’s really, really very funny. People are going to see I’m actually quite laid-back, I’m quite hilarious. I’m just the girl next door who happens to have a really awesome job.
