In her blog, Zinhle writes that AKA admitted to the affair.
She writes: “A week before our daughter was born, I found out about an affair between Kiernan (the father of my child) and Bonang Matheba. I also received confirmation of the rumours through an honest conversation which I had with Kiernan, who confirmed that the affair had been going on for over 5 months.”
Bonang and AKA denied the rumours, with AKA accusing the media of capitalising on his breakup with the mother of his baby girl Kairo. In the midst of all this drama, Zinhle did not comment. Even when she wrote a statement about their breakup, she didn’t go into much detail, she just said the breakup was “amicable”.
She further writes: “After the release of our first statement regarding the separation I felt that there was no need to go into details about the reasons, however, after the continued public display of Kiernan and Bonangโs relationship as well as the commentary surrounding it, it has become important for me to affirm my power as a women, my strength of character, my continued focus on my work and my commitment to being a positive role model.”
Twitter reactions:
Like how did this happen? How did a great, classy woman change just like that. #bonang

Obviously AKA is a cheating mess. Obviously. But to say calling out Bonang is slut-shaming is a massive reach.
Reachard Gere.

It takes two to tango, but Bonang is the one who is trending because it's mos always the woman who is the hoe.

The way we are always ready to attack and tear down one another as women. So Bonang is the home wrecker and what is AKA? A victim?
