South Africans, gather ’round! It appears we’ve got quite the bubbly situation on our hands with Bonang Matheba’s infamous BNG champagne.
It seems like Queen B’s once-coveted alcoholic brand has hit a rough patch, with prices dropping like a lead balloon. The stunning BNG went from R399 to a jaw-dropping R99 at Woolworths.

Yes, you read that right! Mzansi, the land of bubbly dreams, is now questioning how this shift happened. Did Bonang sell her soul to the discount devil?

As the news broke, social media erupted like a shaken bottle of BNG! Some are celebrating this newfound affordability, while others are feeling a little less bubbly about it. @lord_shaid chimed in with a heartfelt message, saying, “Running a business is so stressful, big hugs to BNG.”
Others, like @ngizoyizama, openly wished for even lower prices, saying, “Ngizoyizama mese iwu R50!” Bitter much?

Are We Toasting to Prices or Just Tasting Regrets?
Now, as much as we hate to see Bonang’s brand taking a dive, a good deal is a good deal! Some tweeps are rubbing their hands together, eagerly awaiting further price drops, with one user sarcastically noting, “I might just find it for R45 now!”
But let’s be real—this isn’t just a win for your pocket; it’s a sad chapter for Bonang considering that she doesn’t have any reasonable gig. Let’s raise our glasses and hope for a comeback, although some are enjoying the discounted fizz a bit *too* much!
