South African media personality Bonang Matheba says she had to wait for six long years before she could find the man of her dreams.
After a number of failed romances, it emerged that Bonang has been dating businessman and roboticist David Phume.
Bonang, who was once linked with Nigerian star Dbanj, saw her relationships with musicians Slikour, the late rapper AKA and DJ Euphonik end in messy breakups that played out in the public eye.
In a recent episode of her reality TV show, B’dazzled by Bonang, the media personality admitted that she had stopped any romantic liaisons for six years before her latest relationship.
“I was single for six years before. Now you can’t get me any more. It’s going well. I’m very happy. We found our rhythm,” she said.
“I was adamant in knowing what I wanted, the guy I wanted. I was also so busy with my career, I was busy with BNG litigation, and I moved to New York City.
“So even as a human being, I think I wasn’t in a place that could accept …
“I wasn’t happy so there was no way I was going to be happy in a relationship. Came home from New York [and I] felt stronger, better, more beautiful, I [had] won my litigation, I found my rhythm, I was happier and then God said, ‘take this,” he said.
The personality, known popularly as Queen Bee, said her latest small screen venture would illustrate a different side of her life.
“After so many years in the industry, I’m excited to share a side of me not often seen — the business behind my various brands and how they are working to better society.
“B’dazzled by Bonang is an exhilarating combination of the daily trials and tribulations that come with running my businesses, with a dose,” she said.
