Fans Dig Up Bonang Matheba’s Old Drags At Nathi Mthethwa After His Passing: “She Cooked Him Every Time”

South Africa might be mourning the sudden passing of former Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa — but the internet? The internet is messy.

Minutes after news broke that Mthethwa, who was serving as South Africa’s ambassador to France, allegedly fell to his death from the 22nd floor of a Paris hotel, Mzansi quickly dusted off the archives. And who was trending right alongside him? Bonang Matheba.

Because if there’s one person who never let Nathi breathe while he was alive, it was Queen B.

Bonang Matheba vs. “Minister of Condolences”

Mthethwa had long been nicknamed the “Minister of Condolences” for only popping up to mourn artists after they passed — and Bonang was not here for it.

In 2022, when Banyana Banyana made history, Nathi tried to score clout with a congratulatory tweet. Bonang wasted no time:

“They don’t need your encouragement, they need sponsorships… RESIGN!”

And if you thought that was her only clapback? Nah. When he pushed a plan to waste R22 million on a giant flag, Bonang came with fire: “You’re useless and we all hate you. Go away.”

She dragged him so hard that “Bonang vs Nathi” became its own saga.

Social Media: “Bonang had Nathi Mthethwa in a chokehold”

Now, with his sudden passing, fans couldn’t help but remember how Bonang ate him up every single time.

• @Tebzarati: “One thing about Bonang — she won’t even mention him now. That’s my Queen 👸🏾😍”
• @fit_mandisa: “We didn’t sleep that night when Bonang cooked Nathi 😅👏👏”
• @ladytopaz: “First person I thought of when I heard the news? Bonang. I know she’s got a BNG on ice right now 😭😭😭😭”
• @mathaapeeelo: “Do you guys remember how Nathi used to trigger Bonang? Those were golden days of Twitter 😂😂”

Mzansi being Mzansi, people are both laughing and side-eyeing the timing. But, when it came to Nathi Mthethwa, Bonang Matheba always said what many were thinking — just with way sharper nails.
