Bonang Matheba defends sharing driver's details online after fender bender
"This woman just rammed into my car" - Bonang asked her followers to help her track down a driver.
Bonang Matheba is receiving some flak for sharing the vehicle details of a woman who she says rammed into her car and sped off.
Queen B took a picture of the woman's car - a red Toyota Yaris - which showed her car registration number.
"This woman just rammed into my car and sped off!! Please help me find her," Bonang tweeted on Sunday.
It's unclear which of her cars - which includes a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon - she was driving at the time of the incident.

Bonang added in another tweet that the woman "could’ve had some manners & waited".
While many of the 35-year-old's fans sympathised with her, some felt she shouldn't have posted the woman's number plate online.
"You have her registration and description yet you ask your followers to help find her. What is our police there for? This won't end well Bonang, slightly disappointed with this," a tweep replied.
"You honestly didn’t have to post their registration on social media. What she did was wrong but the right thing to have done was to report it at your local police station and also your insurance company should be able to assist in tracking her," one woman wrote.
Bonang seemingly had no regrets about posting the image.
"Mom. We do both? How’s about that?" the media personality clapped back.

Some of Bonang's fans came to her defence.
"She committed crime, I'm not sure why Bonang has to be protective of someone who wronged her," a woman named Lue wrote.
Here's a look at what other social media users had to say about the incident.
Which world have you been living in? 🤔 Lately the justice system have been failing people dismally and social media does far better so she's right she might find her faster.

Well there's no damage on her car so I doubt very much she rammed into your car as you alleged. Unless you meant in reverse of course..

Post picture of a random Yaris without showing the registration number and ask people to help you track it .. Brilliant idea.

She was probably traumatised, and imagine the money you will charge her for that 🥺. You must be driving a G wagon or something , so imagine the expenses it’s not even close to her salary 💔. But you shouldn’t have showed her number plate to the world B
