Twitter reacts to release of Bonang Matheba's new app
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
Bonang's new mobile app is finally here, but not everyone is happy about paying the R60 subscription fee.
Bonang Matheba can tick one more accomplishment off her bucket list. South Africa's media darling officially launched the 'Bonang by Cell C' app at a posh launch in Johannesburg.
The mobile app will provide users with "never-before-seen" content related to the TV and radio personality's life.
Users will also get access to what happens behind-the-scenes in the amazing world of Queen B.
The "exclusive" content comes at a price, though. Just like the Kardashian-Jenner family's media apps, Bonang's fans will have to pay a monthly subscription fee of around R60.

For that amount you can ask Bonang anything you want in the app's AMA (Ask Me Anything) section, find out what's on Bonang's music playlist, recommendations on where to eat, fashion tips, and 24/7 access to an automatic feed of her Twitter and Instagram accounts.
2017 certainly appears to be the year of Bonang. Not only did she release her first book, 'From A to B', in June, but she also has her own reality show, 'Being Bonang'.
As if that wasn't enough, the 30-year-old also released her own emoji pack called 'Bmojis'.
We wonder what else is on her bucket list?!
Bonang's new app is currently only available on Android devices, but an iOS version will also be made available soon.
Queen B is celebrating yet another major milestone in her career, but not everyone is excited about paying the R60 fee for her new app.

Bonang has so much to offer, instead she is busy trying to be someone else. Zero originality. No focus on her target market. No innovation.
